Book Synopsis

Stalin’s collectivization of Soviet Russia’s agriculture resulted in the deaths of at least ten million people through starvation and associated diseases between 1928 and 1934. Hungry and Starving explores primary accounts of the Great Soviet Famine on the part of both its perpetrators and its sufferers.



Trade Review

“Impressively researched, this book sets itself apart from most other studies in the English-language historiography of the famines. It is a story told mainly through the human voices of the famine years. A major contribution to the literature, it is poised to spark new debate.” John-Paul Himka, University of Alberta and author of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Holocaust: OUN and UPA's Participation in the Destruction of Ukrainian Jewry, 1941–1944
