Nataliia Levchuk contributed estimates of 1932-34 Holodomor losses in terms of excess deaths at the oblast as well as raion level, further classifying by urban versus rural areas. The data was collected by a team of demographers including Levchuk, Oleh Wolowyna, Omelian Rudnytskyi and Alla Kovbasiuk, and allows for a nuanced spatial analysis of factors influencing the famine deaths.
