The reason that to this day people still name their kids Stalin in India
Also Stalin, in the lead up to the famine:
The Political Bureau believes that shortage of seed grain in Ukraine is many times worse than what was described in comrade Kosior’s telegram; therefore, the Political Bureau recommends the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine to take all measures within its reach to prevent the threat of failing to sow [field crops] in Ukraine.
Signed: Secretary of the Central Committee, J Stalin (Archive of the President of the Russian Federation 1932)
They basically knew that kulaks were sabotaging grain production in the Ukraine.
And they did their best to stop them, right?
That’s a good question but i can’t say with certainty because I haven’t looked into the famine with any depth yet.
I know that Kosior, who was the head of the Ukrainian SSR, received serious criticisms for how he managed the Ukraine in the lead up to the famine and during the famine but I really can’t speak with any authority about what happened. Hopefully someone else who knows about this subject will chime in.
