Description
Seven million people in the "breadbasket of Europe" were deliberately starved to death at Stalin's command. This story has been suppressed for half a century. Now, a survivor speaks.
In 1929, a brutal Soviet campaign of confiscations, terrorizing, and murder spread throughout Ukrainian villages, leaving insufficient food to support the population. As a result, the resulting famine claimed the lives of as many as seven million Ukrainians.
This poignant eyewitness account of the Ukrainian famine by one of the survivors, Miron Dolot, recounts his day-to-day confrontation with despair and death, as well as his gradual realization of the absolute control the Soviets had over his life and the lives of his people. It is also a powerful indictment of a chapter in the Soviet past that is still not acknowledged by Russian leaders.
