1932-33
While Ukrainians were starving, the USSR was exporting grain grown in Ukraine. NKVD (later became KGB) units were sent into Ukraine to confiscate food and patrol fields to make sure no-one “stole” the crops that the USSR was growing for export.
Any Ukrainian, including children, caught taking food from the fields was shot on the spot.

True. The horrors that Putin’s employers (the KBB, many whom must have been still in service when he joined) inflicted on the Ukrainians are similar, not in total number but still in the millions, to what the NAZIS did the Jews. How FReepers can act like this former KGB piece of feces is a not a monster now while he terrorizes nation long brutalized by Russian and the Soviets is beyond me.
