FAQ About Joseph Stalin
What was the Soviet famine of 1932-33 and how was Stalin involved?
The Soviet famine of 1932-33, often referred to as the Holodomor in Ukraine, was a devastating famine caused by the forced collectivization policies of Stalin's regime. Grain requisition quotas were enforced harshly, leading to widespread hunger and death across rural Soviet areas, particularly in Ukraine. Stalin's policies and refusal to alleviate the suffering are considered a significant contributing factor to the catastrophe.
