Some rabid anti-communist told be to read this book as proof of a Soviet genocide in Ukraine.
I did a quick search and saw it being passed around and referenced in anti-communists circles like /r/ENOUGHCOMMIESPAM, but I haven't seen any leftist evaluations of this book or this author. So is anyone familiar with this, and how seriously should I take it?
I think it kinda says a lot that they need a picture book to validate their ideas and not, you know, history.
Not saying people didn't die in Ukraine, but it's definitely overblown by libs
There’s a vast difference between saying that the government fucked up the response and saying that the government purposefully committed genocide
Yeah, that was my gut reaction.
Like, there is a tremendous body of evidence for the holocaust. We have photography of mass graves, physical buildings where people were relocated and held captive, massive supply lines and logistical networks for fabricating and transporting lethal chemicals, visible smog and air pollution from the massive amount of cremations.
But he wants to tell me for the Ukraine that the definitive evidence is a picture book.
For reference, he posted that picture of the book cover and said "Read this if you want to learn real history."
