    Ah yes, when I want to avoid biased sources I go to Anne Applebaum: a journalist who steals valor as a historian and goes against what even anti-communist and anti-Stalinist historians have to say about the famine.

      Snyder is also a usual suspect because from what I'm aware Bloodlands is a soft (at the very least) case for the "Double Genocide" thesis.

      Though I must say he is more of a historian than a pundit, unlike Applebaum.

    Lazar Kaganovich also could have worked. Would have been a bonus way of getting Ukrainian fascists to out themselves too, since he was Jewish.

        Literally the first thing to come up on Iron Lazar's wiki page after the initial summary. As for actual first hand source, my guess would be either a biography or the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.

    Both of the people she named are extremely American and are not even tangentially Ukranian

      He grew up in Ukraine and was the head of the party there. He gifted Crimea to Ukraine for no good reason.
