Were the NEP and the Holodomor linked? I'm thinking that the economic freedom given under the NEP allowed Ukrainian farmers/kulaks to prosper meaning that when Stalin introduced collectivisation, the farmers and kulaks didn't want to give up their farms and opposed collectivisation. Hence why Stalin used food as a weapon and starved the Ukraine (the Holodomor). Are they actually linked or have I misunderstood shit.

I think it might have been.
>In his book, “Unnatural Deaths in the U.S.S.R.: 1928-1954,” I.G. Dyadkin estimated that the USSR suffered 56 to 62 million "unnatural deaths" during that period, with 34 to 49 million directly linked to Stalin.
>In “Europe A History,” British historian Norman Davies counted 50 million killed between 1924-53, excluding wartime casualties.
>Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev, a Soviet politician and historian, estimated 35 million deaths.
>In his acclaimed book “The Great Terror: Stalin’s Purge of the Thirties,” Anglo-American historian Robert Conquest said: “We get a figure of 20 million dead [under Stalin], which is almost certainly too low and might require an increase of 50 percent or so.”

What proof is there of 56 to 62 million "unnatural deaths" in the USSR from 1928 to 1954?
