[NP-INCOMPLETE]

Russia had starvation even before WWII. The war only made it worse since the resources of the entire society had to be mobilized for war. 5-6 million people dying over 6 years within a total population of 150 million is totally plausible.

Soviet Union had man made famine to destroy Kullaks...aka independent farmers...social class struggle created by Soviets. Many things plausable, aliens landing in Area 51 plausable...does that make reality?
