Question: "what famines occurred because the Soviets didn't learn from the 1933 famine?"

Answer: A famine from -before- that famine, the famine you're being asked to name one after, TWO OTHER FAMINES THAT HAPPENED THE SAME YEAR, and the one that happened because the fucking nazis invaded

What a mixture of bad faith and just plain stupid

TWO OTHER FAMINES THAT HAPPENED THE SAME YEAR

It's also exceptionally bad faith to treat it as three famines while it was a single one occuring on huge areas. But once we learn it, the entire "holodomor" narration shatter immediately.
