Sir Winston Churchill to Joseph Stalin:
“...Have the stresses of war been as bad to you personally as carrying through the policy of Collective Farms?”
Stalin:
“ - Oh no, The Collective Farm policy was a terrible struggle... Ten million (he said holding up his hands). It was fearful. Four years it lasted. It was absolutely necessary.”
“Ukrainians are an ethos, with their profound religiosity, individualism, tradition of private property, and devotion to their plots of land, were not suited to the construction of communism, and this fact was noted by the high-ranking Soviet officials.”
Just prior to the Ukrainian genocide, Ukraine was seeking political independence from the Soviet Union. Because the Soviet Union was built on the principles of communism, part of their union seeking independence was very threatening. This is what Stalin was speaking of in this quote. Stalin despised the idea of Ukraine owning private property, and having personal devotion to their land. It was clear the Stalin believed the status of Ukraine was not suited for communism, leading him to make start a famine.

Quotes by Stalin that exemplify his ruthless ideologies and principles:
Death solves all problems - No man, no problem
One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.

One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.
Exhibit I
Another quote from Stalin, however this one is much more specific:
“In order to oust the 'kulaks' as a class, the resistance of this class must be smashed in open battle and it must be deprived of the productive sources of its existence and development... That is a turn towards the policy of eliminating the kulaks as a class”

Exhibit J
"I walked along through villages and twelve collective farms. Everywhere was the cry, ‘There is no bread. We are dying."
“In a train a Communist denied to me that there was a famine. I flung into the spittoon a crust of bread I had been eating from my own supply. The peasant, my fellow passenger fished it out and ravenously ate it. I threw orange peel into the peasant again grabbed and devoured it. The Communist subsided."
- Gareth Jones, Welsh journalist and former Political Secretary of Prime Minister of the U.K., David Lloyd George.
These were the observations he reported in an interview with the New York Evening Post. He was the first to publicize the famine
