''The deliberate destruction of Ukrainian peasant farmers, intellectuals, government officials, and anyone accused of "Ukrainian nationalism" provides additional grounds to consider tke Kremlin's actions as genocide. In May 1933, in a dispatch to the Italian Embassy in Moscow, the Italian consul in Kkarkiv, Sergio Gradenigo, assessed the consequences of the famine: perkaps, in the not-too-distant future, there will be no further talk either of Ukraine or of the Ukrainian people. And hence tkere will also be no Ukrainian problem, since Ukraine in fact will become part of Russia.''
