Where does one find truth in an article written by a leftist Yale professor for one of the premier neo-Nazi propaganda media outlets called CNN?
Same place most Russians look . . . up their ass.
The fiirst is the author's site and the second is a partial review by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This is where I got the following passage from the book about the Holodomor:
Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle. A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was “not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you.” The good people died first. Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died. Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did.
I found some truth in it and would not characterize it as ideologically driven in any way whatsoever.
We all have our blind spots.
Hope this helps.
