You forgot the architect (Ukrainian Jew and the #2 most ruthless person in the Soviet Union [behind Stalin]) "Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich (Russian: Ла́зарь Моисе́евич Кагано́вич) (November 22, 1893–July 25, 1991) was a Soviet politician and a close associate of Joseph Stalin. He was born in 1893 to Jewish parents in Kubany near Kiev. For most of his life he was a staunch atheist. Kaganovich never received a formal education, he was self taught and worked as a shoe repairman. In 1911 he joined the communist party, and in 1924 became a member of the Central Committee. In 1930, he became a member of the Soviet Politburo, and during the 1930s he oversaw the construction of the first phase of the Moscow Metro, which was named after Kaganovich until 1955. He also supervised the implementation of many of Stalin's economic policies, including the collectivization of agriculture and rapid industrialization. Kaganovich organized and greatly contributed to the building of the first Soviet metro system in Moscow, which was named after him. At that time he also oversaw the destruction of many of the city's oldest monuments[1]. According to Robert Conquest and some modern Ukrainian historians of the period, Kaganovich, in league with Vyacheslav Molotov, engineered the 1932-33 Ukrainian famine or Holodomor which was a planned genocide in which 7 to 10 million Ukrainians died and inflicted enormous suffering on the Soviet Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan, Motivated by the goal of preventing the possible opposition that the relatively self-sufficient peasantry posed. On any analysis, Kaganovich, was one of the worst mass murderers in history. " YEs, the demicide of the Kulaks in Ukraine, Southern Russia, and Kazakhstan was planned and carried out under the direct supervision of a UKRAINIAN.
