Douglas Tottle
Douglas Tottle (born 1944, believed to have died 2003 or earlier) was a Canadian trade union activist and journalist, author of the ''Fraud, Famine, and Fascism: The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard''. Tottle asserts that the idea that the artificial Ukrainian famine of 1932–33, the Holodomor, was intentionally created by the Soviet government originated from propaganda spread by former Nazis, anti-communists, and Ukrainian nationalists, sometimes posing as academics in Canadian universities. Tottle's critics regard him as a "Soviet apologist", or a "denunciator" of the famine. Tottle has been defended by the Stalin Society, author Jeff Coplon, and the Swedish Communist Party, who insist that his book is valid historical research that exposed the "myth of the famine-genocide ..once and for all". Tottle's work was submitted to the International Commission of Inquiry Into the 1932–33 Famine in Ukraine and was examined as evidence during the Brussels sitting of the ...

The Harvest Of Sorrow
''The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine'' is a 1986 book by British historian Robert Conquest published by the Oxford University Press. It was written with the assistance of historian James Mace, a junior fellow at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, who started doing research for the book following the advice of the director of the institute. Conquest wrote the book in order "to register in the public consciousness of the West a knowledge of and feeling for major events, involving millions of people and millions of deaths, which took place within living memory." The book deals with the collectivization of agriculture in 1929–1931 in Ukraine and elsewhere in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin's direction, and the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 and Holodomor which resulted. Millions of peasants died due to starvation, deportation to labor camps and execution. Conquest's thesis was characterized as "the famine was deliberately inflicted for ...
