    the leaders of the USSR and of the Union Republics employed repressive measures for the purpose of grain procurement, which greatly exacerbated the grave impact of the crop failure of 1932.

    The internationally recognized characteristics of genocide are not and cannot be ascribed to this tragedy, which should not be the subject of contemporary political speculation.
    Some 7 million people in those regions died of starvation and diseases related to malnutrition in 1932 and 1933.
