I know very little about the famine and was wondering if this video misrepresents anything or leaves anything out?
Based on the source and video description, it’s about five percent accurate.
There was a famine in Ukraine at that time and many people died, as was common leading up to that point in the tsarist and early soviet period.
The USSR did what it could to get food to people, but the harvest was just bad and some former landlords who got their land collectivised and serfs freed may have had a little temper tantrum and destroyed some food.
The Nazis and some Americans caught wind of this famine and played it up to make the Soviets and communists look bad. The myth has stuck with us to this day, now ninety years later.
Here’s a good review/rebuttal to one of the commonly referenced books on the topic:
