Abstract:
Discussing Robert Conquest's book "The Harvest of Sorrow", on the Ukrainian famine in the 1930s, opposes the implied attempt to compare Nazi crimes with those of the USSR during Stalin's regime. Analyzes the differences in the situations, and the dissimilarity of the victims of both crimes. Explains that for the crimes in the Ukraine only the Soviet regime is held responsible because the victims were their citizens, while the entire German nation is considered responsible for the mass murder of the Jews.
