The Kyiv Court of Appeal, in a ruling on Wednesday, accused Josef Stalin and other leaders of the former Soviet Union and Soviet Ukraine of organizing mass famine in Ukraine in 1932-1933, the Ukrainian Security Service said in a press release. However, the court quashed criminal proceedings against Josef Stalin, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Stanislav Kosior, Pavel Postyshev and other Bolshevik leaders accused of organizing the famine, known as Holodomor, due to their deaths.

He was the Greatest Russian Chauvinist who turned his back on his own ethnicity...and he led happy commies in the USSR to murder and starve millions of people.

Kaganovich was his Number 1 clown of operations...and he lived happily to his death in 1991 never facing justice for his crime...Moskva should pay....as on top of the Holodmor it stole all the riches such as gold and jewelry from Ykraina.
