The famine of the early 1930s in Ukraine and some other territories of then USSR was a natural phenomenon, consistent with the history of every few years bad crops in these highly primitive agricultural territories. Prior to the Soviet rule, public organizations stepped in to help the victims and did so successfully (check the historic records of the Tzarist Russia on the subject). The Soviet rule eliminated such organizations, destroying the social support network for the case of bad crops. However, this is a far cry from deliberate genocide. Ukrainians weaponize this natural disaster to pursue their political goals.

The Ukrainians committed genocide against the Jewish population of Ukraine at least 3 times in the history. These genocides should be recognized by the German government and other international institutions before calling an unfortunate natural disaster genocide.
