People contest the Ukrainian genocide because it wasn’t a genocide, it was a famine that affected multiple regions including Ukraine, and didn’t have any ethnical component to it.

Even today, people contest the Armenian genocide, and Ukrainian genocide (holodomir). Even the Holocaust.

It was Stalin who systematically made the famine worse in Ukraine to break them. I learned about it in High School history class.

Wow, you learned it in high school, must be true then lmao. I was taught in high school that the Spanish empire was cool and based, and there were no atrocities in Latin america in my studies.
The claims of Holodomor being a genocide against Ukrainian are new, mostly post-2000s, and part of nationalist movements in eastern Europe and russophobia/anticommunism.

I think most normal people are quite happy to ignore the opinions of anyone that denies the holocaust.
