>Soviet documents released after the Soviet Union collapsed have a political bent
Were the Soviets trying to make the Soviets look like bad guys?

>does it include Nazi soldiers and collaborators during the War, for example
are you saying the executed German prisoners of war?

>proportionally extremely small given the entire population of the USSR. Sounds like you're trying to back-peddle to me.
So you're saying because the USSR had such a large population it is acceptable to kill a minimum of 8 million people?

What have I back peddled?
I asked a question

There was one at one point
It was deleted because it did not meet Wikipedia's standards

It wasn't deemed worth having

>Since 2006, the Holodomor has been recognized by the independent Ukraine and many other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet Union.[10]

>Genocide scholar Adam Jones stresses that many of the actions of the Soviet leadership during 1931–32 should be considered genocidal. Not only did the famine kill millions, it took place against "a backdrop of persecution, mass execution, and incarceration clearly aimed at undermining Ukrainians as a national group".[82] Norman Naimark, a historian at Stanford University who specialises in many fields of modern European history,[83] genocide and ethnic cleansing, argues that some of the actions of Stalin's regime, not only those during the Holodomor but also Dekulakization and targeted campaigns (with over 110,000 shot) against particular ethnic groups, can be looked at as genocidal.[84] In 2006, the Security Service of Ukraine declassified more than 5,000 pages of Holodomor archives.[85] These documents suggest that the Soviet regime singled out Ukraine by not giving it the same humanitarian aid given to regions outside it.[86]
