Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." The Ottoman Government was responsible for the Armenian Genocide. To be specific Envar, Jemal,and Talat-pasha were the main people who organized the genocide. The killings were an attempt to wipe out the Armenians and rid them from Turkey.

I would say yes as to the question of whether or not what occured in Ukraine was genocide. I you look at the political makeup of prerevolution Russian, through the revolution, ect. I would start by reading Kruschevs material. He gave interviews which were later on published, that describe what his job and others jobs were in the agricultural dept(so to speak) of the u.s.s.r, I would then back track through stalins way of acheiving things and how people were picked to fill this position and role in their country. I would say it was genocide because of the lack of focus on food stuffs and the principal focus being simply on production and acheiving it. by focusing on work not necesasrily on living standards or accomidations one could see clearer on the subject. cannibalism occured rampantly amongst other things yet the gov. of that country perisisted in things such as the subway system in moscow, building a larger and stronger military, ect. ect. ect. They showed in the end that unless you worked in the gov. or the politburo, you weren't high on the food chain and in general food was not actually a constant focus. THere are alot of things on all of this but unless you read all material without opinion and forget what you think you are being told you won't understand what was actually going on. secrecy was, has been, and still is a way of life in russia. The caged up personality people exibit inthis country goes back further than the colonization of America and has many reasons. ex. Ivan the terribles actions, peter the greats actions, catherine the great, peter the 2nd, nicholas the 1st, 2nd, the bolshevics, stalins purge, one might even include the monguls who once inhabited russia was well as the ukranian region. have fun studying but look long and hard for real facts.
