    Who cares about history? This is 2023. People in history would disagree with people today about slavery and marital rape too. Should we reconsider allowing those things?

        Okay, what does history have to teach us about feeding children? When does history say “don’t feed children?” Go for it.

          The wives and children of those arrested and executed were dealt with by the NKVD Order No. 00486. The women were sentenced to forced labour for 5 or 10 years.[77] Their minor children were put in orphanages. All possessions were confiscated. Extended families were purposely left with nothing to live on, which usually sealed their fate as well, affecting up to 200,000–250,000 people of Polish background depending on the size of their families.[77] The NKVD national operations were conducted on a quota system using album procedure. The officials were mandated to arrest and execute a specific number of so-called “counter-revolutionaries”, compiled by administration using various statistics but also telephone books with names sounding non-Russian.[78]
