I would add that the claim that Trotsky alleged that Stalin married a sister of Kaganovich in his book on Stalin seems dubious. This is because, looking quickly at the version of this book now available online at the Trotsky Internet Archive, it only takes events up to 1917, but any such marriage would presumably only have taken place after Stalin's second wife died in 1932 (I think). It is just possible that this claim is made in a version of the book with later chapters covering later events added by Malamoth. PatGallacher (talk) 01:36, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
In 2016 a "complete" version of Trotsky's biography of Stalin was published by Wellred Books with permission from Trotsky's estate. It contains text by Trotsky that the Malamuth version had omitted, including the following on page 788: "Stalin married the sister of Kaganovich, thereby presenting the latter with hopes for a promising future. That marriage apparently did not last long. At any rate, nothing more was heard about it afterwards." Trotsky evidently had no special knowledge of Stalin's personal life in the 1930s and, like many other authors of the time, picked up the rumor. --Ismail (talk) 04:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Holodomor is a genocide according to Raphael Lemkinedit

Politically motivated edits do not change the fact that the creator of the word “genocide” argues that the Holodomor, perpetuated by Kaganovich, is a genocide. 2605:B100:D0B:211D:1896:B73F:5F4F:72D1 (talk) 11:17, 7 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
