Question: Stanislav Kosior is known as one of the architects of the famine that killed an estimated how many people?
Context: Vagarshak Arutyunovich Ter-Vaganyan (Armenian: Վաղարշակ Հարությունի Տեր-Վահանյան , 1893–1936) was an Armenian communist party leader who was one of the first victims of Joseph Stalin's Great Purge.  Ter-Vaganyan was one of sixteen Soviet intellectuals who stood as defendants during the Moscow Show Trials.  He was accused of being part of the Trotskyite-Zinovievite centre which allegedly prepared terrorist acts against Stalin, Klim Voroshilov, Andrei Zhdanov, Lazar Kaganovich, Sergo Ordzhonikidze, Stanislav Kosior, and Pavel Postyshev.  Under pressure, Ter-Vaganyan was forced to admit his "guilt."  He was shot and his personal property was confiscated by the Soviet Union. The Irish Famine of 1740–1741 (Irish: "Bliain an Áir" , meaning the Year of Slaughter) in the Kingdom of Ireland, was estimated to have killed at least 38% of the 1740 population of 2.4 million people, a proportionately greater loss than during the worst years of the Great Famine of 1845–1852. The Dutch famine of 1944–45, known as the "Hongerwinter" ("Hunger winter") in Dutch, was a famine that took place in the German-occupied part of the Netherlands, especially in the densely populated western provinces north of the great rivers, during the winter of 1944–45, near the end of World War II.  A German blockade cut off food and fuel shipments from farm areas.  Some 4.5 million were affected and survived because of soup kitchens.  As many as 22,000 may have died because of the famine; one author estimated 18,000.  Loe de Jong (1914–2005), author of "The Kingdom of the Netherlands During World War II", estimated at least 22,000 deaths.  Most of the victims were reported to be elderly men. The Niles Canyon ghost story is the Northern California variation on the vanishing hitchhiker archetype.  There are many different variations of this story depending on whom you ask.  All stories include a girl being involved in some sort of motorized vehicle accident on February 26 (year often changed).  One variation of the story includes a girl being involved in a car crash on Niles Canyon road (off the 680 freeway in Sunol, California) on the way to her prom.  The girl died on impact and to this day is said to haunt Niles Canyon road every February 26.  The tale of the haunting goes that people traveling along Niles Canyon road (now Highway 84) on the night of February 26 will see a normal-looking high school-aged girl walking along the road in a prom dress (many people have said it is white).  People traveling along the road (mostly those traveling alone) have said to have stopped and offered the girl a ride.  She accepts the ride, giving the driver an address across the bridge (either Dumbarton or Bay Bridge depending on the storyteller).  Once the driver gets to the beginning of the bridge, the girl will disappear.  Sometimes people have gone to the address to find that a girl many years ago matching that description once lived there.  Today, many people will travel along this treacherous pitch black road in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the Niles Canyon ghost. Kume no Heinai-dō (久米平内堂 ) is a small folk shrine located in Asakusa in Taitō, Tokyo.  The shrine houses a stone statue of Kume no Heinai, a samurai from the early Edo period (17th century).  According to the Asakusa tourism bureau, there are few facts about the life of Kume no Heinai, but he is said to have died in 1683.  Oral tradition holds that Heinai excelled in Kenjutsu, the martial art of swordsmanship, killing many people over the years.  In the latter half of his life, he is said to have lived in the Sensō-ji temple in Asakusa where he devoted himself to Zen-Buddhism and held religious services in honor of the people he killed.  Shortly before his death he ordered his followers to carve his likeness on a stone and bury it near the Niōmon – the entrance to the Buddhist temple and a busy district in the city.  His wish was to have his statue be stepped on by as many people as possible in order to expiate the crimes he committed in life.  The statue was eventually retrieved and is now stored inside the shrine itself.  It is because of this that the shrine initially carried the name "Fumitsuke" (踏みつけ ) , which means "to tread on", but over time the meaning was lost and the shrine's name came to be spelled 文付け, which means "love letter".  Both words are pronounced "Fumitsuke" and the shrine is now worshipped by the general public as a deity of marriage and match-making.  Kume no Heinai-dō was destroyed in March 1945 during World War II.  The current temple was rebuilt in October 1978. Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi (French: "La Grèce sur les ruines de Missolonghi" ) is an 1826 oil painting by French painter Eugène Delacroix, and now preserved at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux.  This painting was inspired by the Third Siege of Missolonghi by the Ottoman forces in 1826, during which many people of the city after the long-time siege (almost a year) decided to attempt a mass breakout ("sortie") to escape famine and epidemics.  The attempt resulted in a disaster, with the larger part of the Greeks slain. The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомо́р ) ; derived from морити голодом, "to kill by starvation"), also known as the Terror-Famine and Famine-Genocide in Ukraine, and—before the widespread use of the term "Holodomor," and sometimes currently—also referred to as the Great Famine, and The Ukrainian Genocide of 1932–33 was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 that killed an officially estimated 7 million to 10 million people.  It was part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932–33, which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country. The Russian famine of 1921–22, also known as Povolzhye famine, was a severe famine in Russia which began in early spring of 1921 and lasted through 1922.  This famine killed an estimated 5 million, primarily affecting the Volga and Ural River regions, and peasants resorted to cannibalism. Stanisław Vikentyevich Kosior, sometimes spelled Kossior (18 November 1889 - 26 February 1939) was one of three Kosior brothers, ethnically Polish Soviet politicians.  He was General Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party, deputy prime minister of the USSR and member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).  According to the Ukrainian government, he is considered one of the principal architects of the Ukrainian famine of 1932 to 1933, known as the Holodomor in Ukraine.  He was executed during the Great Purge. The term coffin ship (Irish: "long cónra" ) is used to refer to the ships that carried Irish immigrants escaping the Great Irish Famine as well as Highlanders displaced by the Highland Clearances.  These ships, crowded and disease-ridden, with poor access to food and water, resulted in the deaths of many people as they crossed the Atlantic, and led to the 1847 North American typhus epidemic at quarantine stations in Canada.  Owners of coffin ships provided as little food, water, and living space as was legally possible – if they obeyed the law at all.
Answer: 7 million to 10 million
