What justification did the Soviet leadership use to rationalize the Holomodor? The Russian serfs purposely reduced the amount of goods they were producing in protest, which reduced much needed revenue from exporting grain. The Ukrainian protests would disrupt Stalin's plans for collectivizing agricultural farmland across the Soviet Union. The process of collectivizing agricultural production allowed Ukranian farmers to specialize in particular products, leading them to demand too high of a price for them from the Soviet government. The peasant revolt following collectivization of agricultural lands was an anti-communist uprising supported by Western democracies that feared collectivization would push the Soviets ahead of them.

Jerome Molina · Answer 2

The correct answer is B) The Ukrainian protests would disrupt Stalin's plans for collectivizing agricultural farmland across the Soviet Union.

The justification that the Soviet leadership used to rationalize the Holomodor was "The Ukrainian protests would disrupt Stalin's plans for collectivizing agricultural farmland across the Soviet Union."

The Holomodor was the genocide of Ukrainians in 1932-1933. The Soviets were responsible because they wanted to oppress the Ukrainians and make them obey Soviet rules. The people from Ukrania wanted independence from the Soviet Union and that did not was convenient for Joseph Stalin's plans. The famine killed millions of Ukranian people.
