Crazy to skip over WW2 on that Wikipedia artivle I'd call the Nazis killing several million Ukrainians (include a million odd Ukrainian Jews) a form of language suppression.
'The Holodomor' is a Neonazi propaganda buzzword invented in the 80s to equivocate between the USSR and the Third Reich, specifically chosen to imply similarity to the Holocaust which in turn is a form of Holocaust minimization. The origin of the 'intentional famine' myth was literally Joseph fucking Goebbels, and was spread by the media empire of avowed fascist William Randolph Hearst.

Let's put that aside though, what the fuck does the famine, even if it was man-made (it wasn't) have to do with language repression?
