EXECUTION of Stanisław Kosior - STALIN's Killer responsible for Holodomor -

Special thanks to @UNITED24media. Check out their video: • HOW MANY RUSSIAN GENER...
The 1930s, the Soviet Union. After investigation reveals that some members of the former Bolshevik party question Stalin’s authority and that there is a network of party members supposedly working against him, Stalin believes anyone with ties to the Bolsheviks or Lenin’s government is a threat to his leadership and needs to go. He initiates the Great Purge which starts with the arrests of party members, Bolsheviks, and members of the Red Army and then grows to include Soviet peasants, members of the intelligentsia, and members of certain nationalities. Among the victims of Stalin's campaign to solidify his power is a man who in his position was responsible for the Great Ukrainian Famine during which millions of people died from starvation. His name is Stanisław Kosior.
Stanisław Vikentyevich Kosior, son of factory workers, was born on 18 November 1889 in Węgrów, today’s Poland, then part of the Russian Empire.
Young Kosior worked at a steel mill and in 1907 he joined the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party which was formed to unite the various revolutionary organizations of the Russian Empire into one party.
Kosior quickly became the head of the party's local branch. The party’s Bolshevik faction eventually become the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Due to his political activity, in 1907 Kosior was arrested and sacked from his job and the following year felt obliged to leave the area due to police activity. He used connections to get re-appointed at the Sulin factory in 1909, but was soon arrested again and deported to the Pavlovsk mine. In 1913 he was transferred to Moscow and then to Kyiv and Kharkiv, where he organized local Communist cells. In 1915 he was arrested by the Okhrana, the secret police force of the Russian empire, and exiled to Siberia.
Since early 1917, Russia had been in a state of turmoil and in February 1917, the Tsarist government's poor management of World War I had helped to inspire a popular uprising which became known as the February Revolution. This first component of the Russian Revolution forced the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and placed in power a Provisional Government of liberal and socialist factions, ultimately under the leadership of Socialist Revolutionary party member Alexander Kerensky. This brief experiment with pluralist democracy was a chaotic one, and in the summer months, the continual deterioration of the war effort and an increasingly dire economic situation caused the Russian workers, soldiers, and sailors to riot.
After the February Revolution Kosior moved to Petrograd, today’s Saint Petersburg, where he headed the local branch of the Bolsheviks
On October 24-25, 1917, Bolshevik left-wing socialist forces under Vladimir Lenin seized key government buildings and stormed the Winter Palace, then the seat of the new government in Russia's capital, Petrograd. The Bolshevik Revolution, also referred to as the "Great October Socialist Revolution," was the first successful Marxist coup in history. During this chapter of the Russian Revolution, the ineffectual Provisional Government was dislodged and ultimately replaced with a Soviet Socialist Republic under Lenin's leadership.
After the October Revolution Kosior moved to the German-controlled areas of the Eastern Front of World War I and Ukraine, where he worked for the Bolshevik cause. After the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, by which Russia withdrew from World War I, he moved back to Russia and from March 1922 to December 1925 he was head of the Siberian branch of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
After Lenin’s death in 1924, Joseph Stalin succeeded him as the leader of the Soviet Union. In January 1926, Kosior was appointed a Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, working alongside the General Secretary, Joseph Stalin.
The Secretariat of the Central Committee was responsible for managing and directing the day-to-day operations of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, while the Politburo was charged with the policy-making aspects of the party.

Hitler gets the majority of the bad press for being a homicidal maniac, which of course he was, but Stalin was shoulder to shoulder with him.

[@writerconsidered]

The only difference is who won the war.

[@MVProfits]

Hitler and his cronies had planned to starve 20-30M of Soviets if they had won the war against the USSR in 1941. On top of all the other evil things they've done. But what always gets me, is that while Nazis were ruthless and mass murderers of outsiders, of designed enemies, communists have done the bulk of their mass killings, enslavement, deportations and all towards their OWN citizens! Often in peace time too. The ideology supposedly for the "common good" of all, for equality and liberation of the working classes, have always killed and made the lives of their own citizens a hell. Such monstrous hypocrites. To say nothing of the endless purges among their own. And yet, so many college kids and academia remain attracted to that awful ideology.

[@johnhardin2269]

He'll, Stalin beat Hitler all hollow. Hitler only killed 20,000,000. By the most conservative measure Stalin killed 30,000,000. The upper end is about 65,000,000. Communists typically have a policy of artificial famine. An accident you say? Stalin daily signed death warrants in the thousands. In the margin of one of these lists he wrote, "Arrest another 12,000. Doesn't matter who."

[@mattm597]

The difference---Stalin was on the winning side. History is written (or ignored) by the winners.

I remember seeing a movie in which some party bigwigs were brought to Stahlin and instructed that they would have to confess to being foreign spies in a show trial and that they would be executed. The men protested that they were loyal communists and that they would not confess. Stahlin replied that if they did not confess that their families could be tortured and killed until they did. One of the men protested that even under the Tsar, the Okhrana did not do such things to things to people's families. Stahlin smiled and asked the man where the Tsar was now. It is just a fictional account, but I think it catches the dishonorable gangsterism that communism brings.

He was no innocent. He helped bring about the system that turned on him. he chose to be a cog in an evil machine. When the time was right, he no longer fit and was replaced. It was much the same with the French Revolution. The men who built the scaffold and turned the guillotine loose were in many cases victims of it. Look at the examples of Danton and Robespierre. They joyfully sent so many to their death and eventually had their own appointment with the National Razor.

Strange to focus on Kosior. The Ukrainian parliament first recognized the Holodomor as a genocide in 2003,[176] and criminalized both Holodomor denial and Holocaust denial in 2006. In 2010, the Kyiv Court of Appeal ruled that the Holodomor was an act of genocide and held Joseph Stalin, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Stanislav Kosior, Pavel Postyshev, Mendel Khatayevich, Vlas Chubar and other Bolshevik leaders responsible.

So, the Soviet revolution, in obeisance to the "laws" of human emotion, eventually consumes itself. Why am I neither surprised or sympathetic. Couldn't happen to a bunch of more deserving people. A lesson in karma... With regard to the sufferings of the people of Ukraine... I agree they suffered--excruciatingly and horribly. But, I'm reminded of the saying, "People get the government they deserve.", and of the example of the people of Nazi Germany (although you could use almost any totalitarian regime). They cheer on their regimes' taking control, willingly allowing themselves to be taken control of, and are mindless or completely rationalizing of the massive suffering and injustices being perpetrated. And then, the terror comes for them, and they're shocked and dismayed. An understanding of the NATURE of evil seems to always elude humanity. Self-deception is one part of evil's nature. Another part is that one cannot negotiate with evil. Proper ethics and morality to recognize evil for what it is. And, the strength to reject evil. Hmm, where do we get those?

[@SuperNevile]

George Orwell neatly sketched all this out in "Animal Farm" (1945) a clever allegory. It is not known for certain if Orwell met with Gareth Jones a journalist who went on a 1933 trip to the Soviet Union. Jones managed to elude his minders and travel extensively throughout famine-hit Ukraine, telling the world of the horrific suffering he witnessed. A recent film "Mr Jones"(2019) fictionalises his experiences, but his writings clearly influenced Orwell.

I think the idea is similar to the Inquisition, that you must appear to understand the crime you have committed. In the Witch Trials a woman who floated in the ducking stools was considered guilty because the Devil was keeping her alive. If she drowned then she must have been innocent. In common times in South American socialist countries you were not found guilty until you understood the verdict of a court. You were only executed if your sense of reasoning was rational. Irrational people could not be executed and this was considered humane. Much the same existed in the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death and the law courts were liberalised the argument being you must have been mad not to agree with Marxist Leninism.

The Irish famine of 1847 was a terrible tragedy exacerbated by the insensitivity and greed of the Absentee landowners and the Protestant political class but the original cause was a nearly total failure of the potato crops due to blight. On the other hand in the case of the Holodomor there is no crop failure what collapses is the humanity and decency of the Russian ruling class. They decided that Ukrainians were expendable so they could just die and ethnic Russians could replace them. Millions died it would be more accurately said they were killed, murdered, slowly and inexorably by a totalitarian facist Government not so diferent from the current one when it comes to its lack of humanity or its willingness to snuff Ukrainian lives to serve its imperial designs.

[@lesana1191]

I would say the reason was not about replacing one nation by other nation ( in Ukraine lived and still live also Russians,Polish and other nations who's ancestors also died in famine), it was about class of kulaks ( peasants , farmers ) who were owning the fields for generations and of course they did not want to loose what their fathers were building in the past and were refusing colectivisation. The bolsheviks were doing so called " rozkulachovanie" - destroying kulaks = peasants as a class which had their position in society and agriculture. Violent colectivisation was extremely hard toward them with goal to break them completely by famine.

[@antoniocalderon3190]

@@lesana1191 Sometimes is possible to achieve an aim without letting the world know. About 4 million Ukrainians died during the Holodomor. So it is not strictly correct that they were trying to demolish the kulaks in the case of Ukraine there was an aim to break the spirit of the people. They could not forgive that the Rada had sought and fought for an independent Ukraine from 1918 to 1920 and there was a will to “break” the Ukrainians. After the worst of the famine Russians and Byelorussians were brought in to replace the millions of Ukrainians erased by the Holodomor.

I do not know where you took this idea from, but when the state forces you to give away all the food, to the very last grain of wheat with no intention to give anything back is called genocide.

But why do we have situation when most of Ukrainians and almost all Russians lived within the same state? Is it something natural? Or it's because Soviet Russia suppressed Ukrainian attempts to create Ukrainian statehood.

Story to bolster fact that ukro nazis were Russian victims.Kosior was Pole,Chubar was Ukri,Stalin Georgian and main NKVD killer was Jew.Not a single Russian.What about atrocities done by west?brits,yanks,nazis,belgians,spaniards,portuguese??????

[@xxvxxv5588]

Ukrainians were victims of systemic anti-ukrainian politics. Awareness about holodomor is important because of idea that anti-ukrainian sentiments are bad, not because of idea that all russians bad. There are obviously some good russians who don't hate Ukrainians and think that Ukrainians should have a right to have its own statehood and culture. But unfortunately most Russians hate Ukrainians, support and justify mass violence against Ukrainians. And don't use controversial term like "ukro nazis".
