localised bad weather etc. is there a way i can make money off this controversy somehow?? thanls.



yes op, it did, although its scope and circumstances have often been exaggerated or simply lied about. since the opening of soviet archives we have direct evidence that stalin was repeatedly made aware of the famine but he was a stubborn lad and seems to have decided for himself that it was bullshit. it was primarily his inaction that made it particularly devastating in ukraine, although it afflicted most of the southern russian grain belt



also everybody ignores the fact that the same famine also killed like, an insane number of nomads living in central asia cause soviet authorities confiscated ~9/10s of their livestock to alleviate hunger elsewhere, but it's hard to care because they are nomads, asian, and haven't been the subject of decades of bickering and slapfighting between different imbeciles of left and right wing varieties (who primarily see millions of dead people as points on a scoreboard) Fuligin has issued a correction as of 06:01 on Apr 21, 2018
