I don't mean to defend the Soviet regime here but in the interest of discussion: the "to subjugate them" aspect is still somewhat contested [0]. I'm not sure whether it would even class as genocide according to the UN's own criteria.
From my understanding: the famine was definitely man-made, the question is more about whether it was intentional.
