The truth about the famine in 1932-33 in the Soviet Union, is told at the website, that I just visited. The holodomor as it's called is estimated to have been produced by Stalin in order to control the food production. Due to this process there were many people who died because of lack of resources producing food. The famine affected most major grain-producing agricultural areas of the Soviet Union, including Northern Caucasus, Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The governments seized grains from the peasantry and exported most of their Republic's agricultural output to the West. This left people without enough grain to make bread and they were unable to survive, without funds to buy food. The seizure was done in order to sustain the rapid economic transformation - "Industrialization" and "Collectivization" - policy designed by Joseph Stalin.
It was called the "great hunger" that caused million of victims throughout the Soviet Union in 1932-1933. There was estimated to be about 6-8 million peasants deaths during the famine. It was considered to be an ineffective economic policy of the Communist governments of the Republics of the Soviet Union. The word "golodomor" has been transformed into "holodomor" making it look and sound like "holocaust." In order to politicize the issue of "golodomor," the politicians against the common enemy suggested that it could be considered as a genocide. They suggest that it was planned by Stalin's regime in order to force through the Soviet Union's policy of collectivization of agriculture.
