The Ukrainian famine was neither intentionally started nor a genocide. Even biographers critical of Stalin, such as Kotkin, do not support the notion that he aimed to starve Ukraine. His agricultural collectivization and simultaneous need to feed the rapid expansion of urban industry played a role, as did climate and kulak intransigence.
