    The Kazakh famine of 1931-1933, also known as the Kazakh catastrophe, was a famine where 1.5 million (other sources state as many as 2.0-2.3 million) people died in Soviet Kazakhstan, of whom 1.3 million were ethnic Kazakhs; 38% of all Kazakhs died, the highest percentage of any ethnic group killed in the Soviet famine of 1932-33.Some historians assume that 42% of the entire Kazakh population died in the famine. The famine began in winter 1930, a full year before the great famine in Ukraine, with the height in the years 1931-1933. The famine made Kazakhs a minority in the Kazakh ASSR, caused by the massive amount of people who died or migrated, and not until the 1990s did Kazakhs become the largest group in Kazakhstan again. Before the famine, around 60% of the republic's population were Kazakhs, but only around 38% of the population were Kazakhs after the famine.[4][5][6][7]
    The famine is seen by some scholars to belong to the wider history of collectivization in the Soviet Union and part of the Soviet famine of 1932-33.[13] Two thirds of the Kazakh survivors of the famine were successfully sedentarized due to the 80% reduction of their herds, the impossibility of resuming pastoral activity in the immediate post-famine environment, and the repatriation and resettlement program undertaken by Soviet authorities[15]. Kazakhstan's livestock and grain were largely acquired between 1929 and 1932, with one-third of the republic's cereals being requisitioned and more than 1 million tons confiscated in 1930 to provide food for the cities.
    Some historians and scholars describe the famine as a genocide of the Kazakhs perpetrated by the Soviet state.[16] In Kazakhstan some studies repeated the Soviet explanation of the genocide, terming it as the Goloshchyokin genocide[17] (Kazakh: Goloshekındik genotsıd, Kazakh pronunciation: [ɡɐləˌʂʲokʲinˈdək ɡʲinɐˈt͡sɪt]) after Filipp Goloshchyokin to emphasize its man-made nature.[5] Goloshchyokin was the First Secretary of the Communist Party in the Kazakh ASSR and is also known as one of the primary perpetrators of the killing of the Romanov family.

      Holodomor: Life during the Belarusian Famine, google T. ""On June 8, 1933, the secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus Mikalai Hikala and the chairman of the SNC of the BSSR Mikalai Haladzed received a secret letter from Naravlyany district. "On June 2 (Sikorskaya village), Sikorskaya killed her 9-year-old child. She managed to eat some of her entrails, drowned her second child the next day and died of exhaustion." Narovlya chiefs tearfully finished their message: "Without the serious help of the republican center we will not be able to do."
      "The situation was similar in the neighboring Yelsk district, as the KGB reported in Minsk. In 200 families from 250 individual farms, children and adults swelled from hunger, 20 people died of weight loss in two months." In order not to see the suffering of a hungry family, Kolodiy locked his wife and three young children in the house, slammed the doors and windows, after which he disappeared, and Kolodiy's wife and two children had already died, one child was rescued by neighbors. Tikhonov's widow Ulyana left her three children to starve and went to an unknown place, ”the KGB officers gave horrible examples.
      A special commission has left Minsk for Homel region to check the facts. On June 21, the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus recorded in the protocol that in the Yelsk and Narovlya districts the plague affected up to 60 percent of the population. People eat not only "lime leaves, heather, moss and chaff, but in some farms even cats, dogs and horse carrion." Comrades from the capital were forced to admit the fact of cannibalism: “In the village. Akopy… The wife of a poor man who went to work in the city, returned home and found her son Volodya dead, cut off the child's legs and boiled with sorrel. She ate sorrel herself and fed the second cub. The next day she and her second child died. "

They took everything (jams, pickles and other stuff people prepared for winter to eat). It looks to me like intentional starvation accompanied by the selling of grains that people managed to collect. The excesses of grain were taken away before and after 1933. Somethimes they were accompanied by bad weather. There was famine in Ukraine in the 1921-23 and in 1946-47, but they didn't have such devastating consequences (although many Ukrainians still died and the grain collection norms were especially high for Ukraine) because peasants were actually allowed to have save some food to support their lives and that's what helped them to survive until the next harvest. In 1933 they didn't survive because *all* food was taken away *intentinally* and *all ways to obtain it* (like leaving the village or excaping the country) *were blocked*

While the Soviets were wrong to send in the military and made food shortages worse, the outright famine was caused by wealthy owners of industrial farms who slaughtered all of their livestock, torched their grain, sowed fields with salt, then fled the country purely out of spite. Many of them became Nazi collaborators working as translators and spies for the Third Reich. Goebbels then used some of their testimony to downplay what the Nazis were doing in Germany to minorities and Poland a decade later, saying the Judeo-Bolshevik Asiatic hordes would invade Germany and cause another Holodomor.

    The soviet union had such a large grain export that it wouldn’t even have had to stop exporting/import food. They could have just reduced the amount exported by 50% and that would have been enough to give sufficient rations to all of the affected regions with enough left over for wiggle room.
    Stalin deliberately used the famine as an excuse to cripple the influence of the smaller republics within the USSR. The rations for the disproportionately russian urban areas in the affected areas were significantly higher than the non russian rural areas. This resulted in Kazakhstan and Ukraine having significant russian populations which helped to centralize power in Moscow.

      @@battleminefail99 The Kazakh famine of 1931-1933, also known as the Kazakh catastrophe, Asharshylyk and Zulmat[9] was a famine where 1.5 million (other sources state as many as 2.0-2.3 million[10]) people died in Soviet Kazakhstan, of whom 1.3 million were ethnic Kazakhs; 38% of all Kazakhs died, the highest percentage of any ethnic group killed in the Soviet famine of 1932-33.[3][7] Some historians assume that 42% of the entire Kazakh population died in the famine.[11]
      The famine began in winter 1930, a full year before the great famine in Ukraine, with the height in the years 1931-1933.[12][7][13][14]
      The famine made Kazakhs a minority in the Kazakh ASSR, caused by the massive amount of people who died or migrated, and not until the 1990s did Kazakhs become the largest group in Kazakhstan again. Before the famine, around 60% of the republic's population were Kazakhs, but only around 38% of the population were Kazakhs after the famine.[4][5][6][7]
      The famine is seen by some scholars to belong to the wider history of collectivization in the Soviet Union and part of the Soviet famine of 1932-33.[13] Two thirds of the Kazakh survivors of the famine were successfully sedentarized due to the 80% reduction of their herds, the impossibility of resuming pastoral activity in the immediate post-famine environment, and the repatriation and resettlement program undertaken by Soviet authorities[15]. Kazakhstan's livestock and grain were largely acquired between 1929 and 1932, with one-third of the republic's cereals being requisitioned and more than 1 million tons confiscated in 1930 to provide food for the cities.
      Some historians and scholars describe the famine as a genocide of the Kazakhs perpetrated by the Soviet state.[16] In Kazakhstan some studies repeated the Soviet explanation of the genocide, terming it as the Goloshchyokin genocide[17] (Kazakh: Goloshekındik genotsıd, Kazakh pronunciation: [ɡɐləˌʂʲokʲinˈdək ɡʲinɐˈt͡sɪt]) after Filipp Goloshchyokin to emphasize its man-made nature.[5] Goloshchyokin was the First Secretary of the Communist Party in the Kazakh ASSR and is also known as one of the primary perpetrators of the killing of the Romanov family.

On holidays, Ukrainians eat softcooked barley sweetened with honey and poppyseeds. But then, HOLODOMOR happened, and many switched to eating dirt, bugs, bark, and human flesh. AMERICAN HOLODOMOR is now foreseeable. With predictions of constant 10 percent inflation, buying food for pantry will be best investment of money, driving people to empty store shelves even faster. Better to spend some $$$ now for stocking up on food to store, and buy guns and ammo to defend your food from BLM activists who will try to steal it or eat your flesh.

      Well, actually, the other parts of Russia where hunger happened were Volga and Kuban regions where (surprisingly!) Ukrainians were the majority of population. Moreover, there were no such extreme measures as forecefully taking away any personal food (including basic staff that peasants grew in their gardens, like apples, cabbage etc.), closed borders, a ban on leaving villages, and freedom for NKVD to go to extreme measures to punish people or take away the food. Stalin had a personal hatred towards Ukrainians from the civil war and basically saw them all as "traitors". That belief also showed during the Second World War when Stalin often used Ukrainian citizens as "meat" against the Nazis.

      I do not agree on the expense of the destruction of peoples. As for me, no one lived worse than the Russian people, not counting the deportation (of Chechens and Crimean Tatars for collaborating with the Nazis, and I think they were still lucky) of peoples after the war. And at the same time, the Russian people subsidized the development of national minorities and the entire economy of a huge empire, vice versa. Also, everyone forgets that for almost the entire 70-year period, the Soviet Union was ruled by various clans from the republics. First a Jew, then a Georgian dictator, then the Dnepropetrovsk clique of Khrushchev and Brezhnev up to the incompetent Russian Gorbachev. At the expense of love for Stalin and Lenin (according to Lenin, not exactly as you say), there are differences and peculiarities why this happens. By itself, the attitude towards Lenin is critical due to alleged ties with Germany, as well as in unleashing the Civil War with the subsequent separation of some territories. Yes, and Putin constantly criticizes him for the “bomb” (in the form of poorly cut republics) planted under Russia, which exploded in 1991. Whereas according to Stalin it is completely different, here the main factor is that he became a symbol of “strong” power and victory in the Great Patriotic War. Usually a positive attitude towards Stalin in Russian society is among the elderly and "boomers", and of course there are occasionally among the young, but this is influenced by mild re-Sovietization in Putin's Russia. This is explained by the fact that we are against the destruction of history, even if it refers to such controversial personalities as Stalin, Ivan the Terrible, and so on.

Frightened rightless minorities in several alien countries, some of them literally slaughtered their russian population after independence, some are just oppressing noncitizen, unbelivers, ocupants and etc. During revolution reds used foreign mercenaries or just bandits to spread terror to people. Finnish baltic jewish caucasian tartar chinese german polish were used by lenin to end great russian jingoism. How? By murder rape and robbery. Soviet union was created to destroy russian state and enslave russians to bring comunism and rainbows to better human species like germans. Russians were meant to be expendable, like wood to set the world on fire.

      @The Soviet it's literally just data, you don't even have to read any articles, just look at the gdp per capita and life expectancy growth in Gulf States, thailand, south korea, etc. and then compare by yourself to the growth of communist states like cambodia, laos, North Korea etc. China and Vietnam have experienced good growth but they also have adopted capitalist practices, and suffered large famines, instability, slow growth, and stagnating life standards before opening up.

      @@consortiumxd5934 After the Mongols withdrew from Europe, the only region taken directly by Poland was the region of Lwów. All the rest of nowadays Ukraine, together with Belarus, was taken not by Poland but by Lithuania: before the polish-lithuanian union even became a thing. Eventually it was indeed Poland the one who started running the show, but simply because the noblemen of other ethnicities started polonising themselves due to being adored by polish culture.
      Poles did not create any Ukraine. It was simply a name for the region in general. The ukrainian nationality was born out of the Cossacks. Before Mongols started invading Europe, they had previously conquered numerous asiatic tribes whom they joined into mongol hordes. And although the Mongols eventually withdrew from Europe, some of mentioned asiatic tribes stayed in Eastern Europe as the Crimean Tatars. They were brutal tribes and they became a vassal state to the Ottoman Empire. The Crimean Tatars were making the regular raids to catch christian people into slavery, to sell them to a slave market in the Ottoman Empire. What does it have to do with Ukraine? A lot of peasants from Ukraine didn't want to work in the fields for nobility, and they were running into the so called Wild Fields, where they started forming themselves into the paramilitary militia to protect themselves from the Tatars. And that's how the cossack society was formed. The modern ukrainian nationality basically based itself on the myth of free Cossacks.

      @@JohnSmith-zs9vr that is true, but devil hides in details. Lithuania united with several principalities and subjugated others. Yes poland united with lithuania peacefully. But after some time russian orthodox people began losing their rights. Not to full segregation but still orthodox people were never favored in courts. In universities young people were forced to convert. When same things happened later to poles they became victims in eyes of all world. Wester russians were forced to live under such conditions for centuries. Ruthinian identity was formed under polish rule to devide our people. Nobility was encouraged to assimilate into polish state and as compromise they invented new identity. As equals they were not seen by poles and orthodox russians were seen as barbarians, brute ( bidlo in polish language).
      There is huge difference between Cossacks and ukrainians. May be ukrainian state really have such position but cossacks always were by themselves. They were nomads, bandits, even pirates but in the same time they called themselves litsari or knights. They had their own rich culture. Eventually most of the most organized groups decided to join russia. Eventually cossacks spread from wetern steppes to all russian lands. There are still many of them all around modern russia. You just simply can’t say that ukrainians are cossacks. Modern ukrainians were invented in the most western part of modern state. In austrian part.
      Funny fact. In russian we call ukrainian person, hohol, which means bang (hairstyle). This name was given by cossacks. They worn unique hairstyle that you saw if you saw any cossack. It was called chub. And cossack were simply mocking their peasant neighbors who tried to copy their hairstyle. Through centuries this mocking stayed to describe badly educated peasants who spoke very bad russopolish dialect of russian. With help of some authors and mostly soviet linguists this nonsense turned into ukrainian and belorussian languages. Russian changed much too so even in the beginning of 20th century russian sounded and was written with much more similarities with these so called “languages”

      @@consortiumxd5934 Your claims about religious persecutions are wrong. The Commonwealth had a religious tolerance, guaranteed by the Warsaw Confederation from 1573.
      There was a phrase "bydło", but it was used simply towards peasants, regardless of their ethnicity. The Commonwealth's noblemen, including the ruthenian ones, saw themselves as the elite and that they are the ones to whom the country belongs. And they saw themselves as equals regardless of religion. One of ruthenian magnates, Konstanty Ostrogski (he kept his orthodox religion), was the commander who led the polish-lithuanian forces to victory over Moscow in the battle of Orsha 1514. And the biggest enemy of the Cossacks was another polonised Ruthenian, Jeremi "Jarema" Wiśniowiecki. In fact his son, Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, was later elected as a king.
      The Cossacks used to rebel against the Commonwealth, and when they started losing their biggest rebellion, they indeed asked for unification with Russia by the Treaty of Pereyaslav 1654. But it was rather "Let's bring the destruction upon the Commonwealth", rather than "We love Russia". The Cossacks didn't care about unification with Russia, all they cared about was to bring some foreign invasion. In fact the Cossacks from those of regions which the Commonwealth managed to keep... did later the whole thing all over again with the Ottoman Empire, when Petro Doroshenko pledged his loyalty towards the Ottomans in 1668 and asked for the ottoman invasion of the Commonwealth. And those of Cossacks who found themselves under Moscow's rule, twice tried for alliance with Sweden against Russia. After the Russians struck in 1654 at the Polish-Lithuanian Commwealth, the Swedes used this occasion to make their own invasion during which the Swedes overrun almost half of the Commonwealth. Eventually the Commonwealth pushed the Swedes out and the conflict went back to being simply the polish-russian war. But while the Swedes were still in this conflict, the Cossacks tried to form an alliance with Sweden to form a cossack state independent from Russia (Treaty of Radnot 1656). Didn't work out, because as mentioned, the Swedes were banished out and the conflict went back to being just the polish-russian war. But few decades later Sweden and Russia fight each other in the Great Northern War 1700-1721, during which the Cossacks of Ivan Mazepa invite the Swedes to russian Ukraine, in hopes to get swedish help to form an independent cossack state.
