And why wouldnt the Ukraine trust Russia without guarantees? How about this? 3.3m died during the Ukrainian starvation of 1933. Yes, Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians in 1933. No wonder there are so many ethnic Russians in the Ukraine...so many native Ukrainians were killed by Stalin...then Hitler...then Stalin again. Why do Poland and Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania hate the Russians? 300,000 victims in the national terror in the Soviet Union from 1937-1938- Snyder uses the term national terror, which targeted mostly Poles and Ukrainians, killed because of their ethnic origins (figure does not include and additional 400,000 Great Purge deaths outside of the Bloodlands). According to Snyder, Stalin considered ethnic Poles in the western USSR as a potential agents of the Second Polish Republic; Ukrainian kulaks who survived the famine of 1933 were also considered hostile to the Soviet regime in a future conflict. 200,000 Poles were killed between 1939 and 1941 in occupied Poland, with each regime responsible for about half of those deaths. The deaths included civilians and military prisoners of war killed in the Katyn massacre[12] Most of the victims were the intellectual and political elite of Poland. According to Snyder, both Stalin and Hitler wanted to eliminate the leadership of the Polish nation.
