The Soviet Famine: A Policy of Starvation
This chapter examines the catastrophic famine in the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1931, driven by Stalin's forced collectivization and aimed at suppressing Ukrainian nationalism. It presents chilling personal accounts of suffering, including cannibalism and mass starvation, while exploring the political motives behind the famine's execution and the vilification of Ukrainians. By analyzing the concept of Holodomor as part of a broader colonial strategy, the chapter sheds light on the lasting impact of this tragedy on Ukrainian cultural memory.
