Interview to 2 GvIAP SF veteran
A lot to think about, and quite possible - to discuss especially in the end.

"— What was the reason for famine in 1933?
Bad crops, I think…" Poor lad. The power of soviet propaganda is still strong.

Right ...because he developed all of his views in the past few decades *slightly sarcastic* - the man is 96??
I'm pretty sure that crop failures were involved, just that the famine was intensified by industrialisation and policy decisions (especially in some regions - as we're often reminded). A very hideous thing and it reflects quite badly on the society. It is actually quite interesting to reflect on similar situations: The Great Irish famine for example didn't effect elites or most people in Britain. Many societies still allow a fair portion of their poor to die of disease at younger ages, due to malnutrition or worse medical care (while some live in luxury).

Famines were not so uncommon, and to be historically precise - famine of 1933 was not the worst. It was just most known and used as a symbol of anti-Soviet propaganda. In late 1800 there were several similar famines as well as in early 1900s. Good thing that there were no more disease outbrakes...
