    Ukraine did better than most USSR members.

    “Better” only in the sense of having a higher death toll: 7 to 10 million out of a total population of about 30 million.

    Xinjiang prosperity has grown higher than average of Chinese provinces, with high investment levels.

    Those high investment levels being funneled exclusively to Han Chinese who have been brought in to displace the Uighurs who have been put into camps.

    The genocide declaration is political persecution

    Right, and putting people into camps in order to exterminate their ethnic identity isn’t.

      “Better” only in the sense of having a higher death toll: 7 to 10 million out of a total population of about 30 million.

      More credible number is: 3.9 million in Ukraine, 3.3 million in Russia, and 1.3 million in Kazakhstan.

      Kazakhstan being the highest per capita. Holomodor is a Ukrainian word used specifically to politically get US and its colonies to validate Ukrainian nationalist hatred. The only places that recognized the political “lets demonize Stalin” and make up your numbers to do so.
