Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished in this farming area, known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the people deprived of the food they had grown with their own hands.

How were Stalin people killed?

Stalin held mass executions and purges. These were in order to keep law and to punish deserters. He also used them to eliminate threats to his power. By far the greatest number of people killed by Stalin was through famine and resettlement of people in uninhabitable lands. Stalin's death count using these methods against certain peoples, societal classes and nationalities was the equivalent of genocide. Millions of Ukrainians (and Russian peasants) were left to starve as their crops were forcibly requisitioned from them in amounts Stalin needed to fund his Five Year Plans without regard to whether the peasants were left enough to survive on. Millions of "kulaks" (relatively well off peasants) were dispossessed of their lands (Stalin's policies of "collectivization" and "dekulakization") and sent in exile in Siberia to die of starvation or exposure to harsh climate conditions.

Did Joseph Stalin like war?

I believe Josef Stalin loved war. He was ruthless when he fought against the Germans. He was a killer of his own people. He showed little remorse or grief over his 10 million people who were killed, but he really enjoyed seeing the Germans punished and stealing the Eastern European countries for himself. See related information about the type of ruler Josef Stalin was.
