Book Description

Em 1929, Stalin lançou uma política de coletivização da agricultura que expulsou milhões de camponeses de suas terras e os levou a fazendas coletivas. O resultado foi a mais letal fome na história da Europa, conhecida como Holodomor. Pelo menos 5 milhões de pessoas morreram entre 1931 e 1933 na União Soviética. A região da Ucrânia foi a mais afetada, com mais de 3 milhões de mortos, mas não em decorrência de condições climáticas adversas ou como resultado acidental de uma política catastrófica: o Estado soviético fez uso daquela barbárie para se livrar de um problema político e, em vez de enviar auxílio, trabalhou deliberadamente para exterminar a população Ucraniana, fechando as fronteiras da República e confiscando toda a comida disponível.
