And if it did, whose fault was it?

>Holodomor was caused by the communist party as revenge against the Ukrainians for siding against them in the civil war.
It would have been very out of the character for the Bolsheviks to wait until the 1930s to punish a Civil War enemy, they already started eradicating the Cossacks starting in 1919, and there's really no Civil War-related reason for Bolsheviks to have particular animosity towards Ukrainians, they mostly just got clobbered by anybody who showed up, White, Red, Pole, or German.

Yes.
The famine was the result of a bad harvest made worse by disasterous collectivizarion policies.
It was then made purposefully worse by food requisitions and blacklisting and closing-off of entire communities.
The famine effected Southern Russia as well.
