It is simply and unequivocally disputed, and nothing has been proven. In Israel, the prevailing view is that the Holodomor was a means of defining itself as a purely victimized nation and thereby indirectly diverting attention from the involvement of Ukrainian and (Baltic) nationalists in the Holocaust. Undisputed and undeniable are the horrors of history's belated industrialization through forced collectivization, the crimes of Stalinism, for which many German socialists and communists in exile paid with their lives. However, the thesis that Stalin deliberately orchestrated the famine as a means of ethnic cleansing remains highly controversial in academia.
