It was pretty directed. One of the targeted groups - Polischuks - are less than a thousand today, and only got away by leaving Ukraine for Poland and other-places in the West.

Anyway, even if you discount the golodomor, de-Cossackization was an attempt at completely wiping out a people. 

Communists did extermination before it was cool.

I can also refer to ZAPU/ZANLA groups chanting kill the white man and trying to exterminate Rhodesian whites.

oh, yeah, but policies can be directed. IDK what he'd possibly gain from getting rid of these people. But I've never really looked into it either and usually keep my thoughts about it to my self - holodomor isn't even a subject really discussed conventionally because it's not that well known compared to other genocides.
