Stalin's Holodomor: A Man-Made Famine in Ukraine. Content Warning.

In the early 1930s, to be exact 1932-1933, Ukraine, then a part of the Soviet Union, experienced one of the most horrific tragedies of the 20th century. Under the brutal leadership of Joseph Stalin, a deliberate and systematic famine, known as the Holodomor, was inflicted upon the Ukrainian people. This man-made disaster was not simply a result of natural factors but a calculated policy aimed at crushing Ukrainian national movement and collectivizing agriculture.
