Oh really?! I don't think Brits are in position to lecture anyone on genocides Anyway Holodomor was widespread not only in Ukraine but also in large parts of Russia and was directed at general population regardless ethnicity.

Here is a map to ponder:
Yellow area in the middle is original Ukraine before 1654. Area above is gift from Russian Tzars between 1654 to 1917. Blue area is gift from Lenin in 1922. Red area is gift from Stalin in 1939-40 (that is actually what people refer to as Western Ukraine, yes, it's that small ). Green area is Crimea gifted to Ukraine by Khrushchev in 1954.
So one have to ask himself: how can a country have a strong identity when 80% of it's territory (and population) was given to it by another country (ethnicity)?
