The Soviet famines were intentional genocide. Communist Party leaders always had plenty to eat.

This used to be believed by academic historians, until the opening of the Soviet Archives in 1992, and now the consensus is that it wasn't, it was just really bad data.

The link you're citing had multiple authors resign due to academic dishonesty and is funded by the US government, therefore making it state propaganda.

People died. That was not due to bad data.
