The difference is that the pro-Soviet monuments were monuments to oppressors - not liberators. The Soviets didn’t really liberate Estonia or Latvia or Ukraine. They went on to oppress those places and peoples for 40 more years.

The Holodomor memorial was simply about how an oppressor starved people to death. It did not glorify an oppressor pretending to be a liberator (the Soviets).
