Newsflash- The United States does not recognise the Holodomor as a genocide at the highest level despite the declaration by Congress. Newly released documents obtained by the editor show that the US only supported Ukraine's UN resolution regarding the Holodomor provided that any mention of genocide was removed.
Rice sent a letter of support to the Ukrainian Foreign Minister almost covertly with an instruction that no signed original was to be released
The documents are on the links below. Further material will be published shortly

This is a quote from a communist leader speaking in the Kharkiv region in 1934:
"Famine in Ukraine was brought on to decrease the number of Ukrainians, replace the dead with people from other parts of the USSR, and thereby to kill the slightest thought of any Ukrainian independence."
- V. Danilov et al., Sovetskaia derevnia glazami OGPU_NKVD. T. 3, kn. 2. Moscow 2004. P. 572
