   Soviet communism eventually killed tens of millions of people - nearly   
   62 million, according to Professor R.J. Rummel of the University of   
   Hawaii, a specialist in the study of "democide" (his term for   
   government mass murder).  In 1933 its record was already so bloody   
   that Central Europe was terrified of the communist threat that so many   
   Westerner intellectuals preferred to see as the Great Progressive   
   Hope.   
      
   At the time Roosevelt established diplomatic relations with them, the   
   Soviets were in the process of starving millions of Ukrainians into   
   submission.  This atrocity was genteelly called an "agricultural   
   policy," but it was widely reported in the West.  Certainly no   
   government could claim not to have known about it.   
      
   The communist-forced famine of Ukraine is sometimes called "the   
   Forgotten Holocaust."  A better name would be the Forgiven Holocaust.
