    Give "Fraud, Famine and Fascism: The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard" by Douglas Tottle a read.

    It details how an American fascist with media backing from the fascists spun up this bullshit tale only to get judicially debunked as literal nazi propaganda by the U.S justice system. Also how later on the cold war warriors of the 80s, roughly, weaponized that bullshit lie to further drag the USSR's reputation through the mud through deliberately arranging for it to be verbally linked to the holocaust.

    It also goes into the actual famine of the time and details the shit that happened then, why it happened, how did the respective groups of people responded to the famine, and how it was solved.

    Good read.
