Douglas Tottle is a trade union activist and the author of a book about the Ukrainian famine of 1932–1933 - Fraud, famine, and fascism: the Ukrainian genocide myth from Hitler to Harvard (Toronto: Progress Books, 1987. ISBN 0919396518). Tottle claims fraudulent, anti-Semitic "famine-genocide" propaganda has been spread by former Nazis, anti-communists and Ukrainian Nationalists, sometimes posing as academics in Canadian universities. Tottle is regarded as a Soviet apologist.

The official biography from that book is as follows: "Tottle has worked as a photographer and a photo-lab technician, fine artist, underground miner, and as a steelworker. An active trade unionist, Tottle edited the United Steelworkers journal "The Challenger" from 1975 to 1985, during the time the paper received over 20 international and Canadian journalism awards. Tottle has also worked as a labor history researcher, and as an organizer. During the 1970s he assisted the organizing drive of Chicano farmworkers in California, and worked with Native Indian farmworkers in Manitoba. Tottle has written for various Canadian and U.S. periodicals, magazines, and labor journals."
