Actually regions harmed by mass famine in 32 and 33 are mostly pro-Russia, and most against-Russia regions weren't part of USSR at that time.

I did not know that. Could it be that is because they were depopulated of Ukranians and enthic Russians were moved in to replace them?

Basically South and East of Ukraine were not inhabited by Ukrainians, but colonized by Russian Empire - Odessa, Nikolayev, Crimea. And by the way, Holodomor advocates usually forget to mention that many more Russian and Kazakh people died during that famine and it was not specifically 'targeting' Ukrainians -

I guess this is the reason they use a Ukrainian word 'Holodomor' for it?
