Russian Famine of 1921

More than 9 million people died in freeze and hunger. Because of the antagonism against the communist government, few countries executed humanitarian aids.

The US sent aid. But these people didn't die because of a lack of aid. They died because of the communist government's economic policies and because of the civil war.

You need to study European history more, and should not rely on Wikipedia too much.

Yes, US sent aid immediately, but not as much as one in Berlin Blockade which had huge strategical importance. US stopped aid and lifted economic closure after Russia asked LN aid. With out Fridtjof Nansen's work and Canadian mercy, the things might go worse.

One needs only read the original writings of Marx himself to see that death on a genocidal scale is an intrinsic part of Marxist "thought." In fact, in the original writings of Marx he talks extensively of the need to exterminate whole classes & even entire nations b/c they will be congenitally "reactionary." As Russians were mostly peasants, they would mostly simply need to die. The contempt Lenin & Stalin & the whole lot of them had for peasants is clear. They were just faithful disciples.

Lenins response to the help America delivered was a "lack of transportation." He sure could move men and weapons around when needed though. In fact the US fed 15 million people and innoculated 8 million. So much for the workers paradise; it was in every negative sense of the phrase a "dictatorship OVER the proletariat." Bolsheviks cared for the working class to the degree that they could plunder them.

Yes, Lenin was a great killer too. Little wonder Stalin employed the same tactics some decade later what with the desired results Lenin rendered. Deniers of this famine and the Holodomor are akin to Holocaust deniers, sad examples of communist goodwill?

:( russia was in control of a communist government, and it wasn't because they all wanted communism it was because life in the tsarist regime was worse than a "workers paradise",

And yet you can still visit Lenin's tomb in Moscow. Though in the most recent Victory Day Parade in Red Square the Russians blocked the view of Lenin's tomb so camera's couldn't see it in the background. My understanding was the U.S. offered aid but Lenin wouldn't agree to the demands placed by the USA.
