While the Bolsheviks were in power in USSR a communist named Josef Stalin came to power. As Stalin was in power he made his country a socialist country. So this means he put and made everybody in the county work for their economy to boost up. Their was this group of people which were named the Ukrainians. They did not want to work for USSR and wanted their own Independence from USSR. Stalin then decided to starve the Ukrainians and make them work in camps called "Gulags". As they worked some of them will die during their labor. Some Ukrainians that were not in labor camps were still starved to death. This caused deaths. Some say it was from 7 million to 10 million Ukrainians. Even though Stalin didn't kill Ukrainians like Hitler killed Jewish people. He just made them starve to death, I think that Josef Stalin did commit a genocide. He killed more Ukrainians that Hitler killed Jews.
