While Stalin was starving Ukrainians they were not permitted to cross the border into Russia where food was readily available. It was a genocide directed at exterminating the Ukrainian peasants.

Why was this article re-published from http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700224448,00.html downplaying the title's ‘famine, genocide’ to the more neutral ‘tragedy’?

Definition of a "tragedy" is that you can see it coming and yet you fail to get out of the way. I don't think the Ukrainians saw it coming. Thus is was truly a famine and a genocide.
And Stalin did it? He seems to get a lot well deserved credit for such things. We still suffer from his hand in some countries where he mixed nationalities in order to control them (think Armenia, Azerbejian).
I really don't expect to see him in Heaven. But he could be a site manager in hell.
