I don't agree that it was not intentional. Certainly ethnic Ukrainians strongly disagree that it was not intentional. There are historians who debate the topic in a rational way however as evidenced by Wiki once again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor#G...e_question
"Here's one opinion from the Genocide Question in the Holodomor article on Wikipedia that I agree with, "Genocide scholar Adam Jones stresses that many of the actions of the Soviet leadership during 1931–32 should be considered genocidal. Not only did the famine kill millions, it took place against "a backdrop of persecution, mass execution, and incarceration clearly aimed at undermining Ukrainians as a national group".[81]"
