"some initial mistakes" is quite something to describe 9+ million people dying from hunger in Ukraine during the great famine.

More careful historians, such as Snyder, put the figure at around 3.5 million.

Doesn't detract from your overall point though, which is quite valid.

And how many famines were there under the Tsars?
