For all its history the world knew many
periods of starvation. But the period 1932-1933 in Russia was
characterized by the first “organized” starvation when the political
factor was the dominant one, prevailing above all others. It was not
caused by any natural disaster as it had been a number of times before.
The are many versions explaining the
reasons of the hunger in Ukraine 1932-33. Bad harvest, catastrophic
situation with the Ukrainian agriculture, bad management in the fields,
lame planning and control of the situation etc. But more often it’s the
government of the USSR that is blamed for what happened. Its actions are
widely believed to be intentional and are even often called
“pacification by hunger”. The Soviet authorities allegedly planned to
liquidate the ethnicity of the Ukrainian nation.

“It is strictly prohibited to bury bodies here.”
They say that not all the lists of
casualties concerning those times have been published yet. So it’s still
hard to estimate the true scale of the disaster.
