Ukraine is the breadbasket of eastern Europe. Tremendous farming and wheat production was centered in Ukraine. Under Lenin, and then Stalin, all farms and food production were seized and controlled by the state. The Soviets hated the Ukrainian peasants and wanted them all dead. All of them. So here’s what they did in ARSH 1932:
At wheat planting time, the Ukrainian farmers all went to the Soviet office in town to get their allocation of seed wheat to plant for that year’s crop, naturally. The Soviets stalled and stalled and then simply refused to give the Ukrainian farmers any seed. As the planting window narrowed day by day, and then finally closed, the farmers became first ever more urgent, and then resigned themselves in despair to the fact that they would have no crop that year.
Fast forward to wheat harvest time in June. The Soviet bureaucrats showed up at the farms and demanded that the farmers deliver that year’s wheat crop harvest. The farmers, in complete disbelief at the Soviets after having begged and pleaded for seed a few months earlier only to be ignored and then explicitly denied any seed by these very same Soviet bureaucrats, told them that there was no harvest because YOU REFUSED TO GIVE US ANY SEED. The bureaucrats then accused the farmers of hiding and hoarding the wheat harvest, and summarily executed all of the men and teenaged boys on the spot as “enemies of the Revolution and the people”. Those were the lucky ones. The Ukrainians left alive then slowly starved to death, many descending into the madness of starvation. Many Ukrainian women, insane with hunger, slaughtered, cooked and ate their own children.

no wonder Ukrainians dislike Russians....
My mom told the story of flour pudding during the depression.
Flour, water and a little nutmeg and sugar. Said they had many a meal of that and that is all they had. Till the garden was ready and the apple trees, plum trees and pear trees.
There wasnt a rabbit, or anything around to be had. Even ate the RATS!
What is ARSH (1932)?
ARSH It is the abbreviation for the Latin, “Anno Reparatae Salutis Humanae” which means, “In the Year of the Reparation of Human Salvation.”

In fact Communist orphanages are consistently horrible. I used to work in international adoption and kids from really dirt poor countries like Vanuatu, Haiti and Uganda were all in better shape mentally and physically then the kids from behind Iron Curtain.
,,,and GULAGS.
I’m Educated now.
My Great Grandpa was said to have hunted the last Yellowstone elk in PA during the depression. I am guessing they ate good that year. My cousin still has the antlers.
I heard similar stories from my mom. She used to make tapioca pudding with that recipe. Always knew what plant was edible.
My Grandpa used to work in NYC left at the beginning of the the depression and sold apples and cherries from his families farm.
Dad was a city boy, different stories. Hard times all around.
Stalin was a Georgian. And other ethnic groups suffered as well-even, dare I say, Russians.
And Hitler was Austrian.
Either we kill them or they kill us

Just look at what they’re doing already.
Ann believes Bergoglio is the anti-pope, and B16 is the one true pope, as do I
I don’t doubt it’s true. During the siege of Leningrad in the winter of 1941/42 hunger drove some of Leningrad’s rsidents to cannibalism.
You can read about it in Harrison Sailsburys “The 900 Days’’.
Yup, they did what they had to do.
Picking blue berries and selling them for a little money-if there was any to be got. Mostly, they bartered for things.
Pop painted barns till he got enough cash to by an old beat up sawmill.
Walked 8 miles to the store for groceries. Had no car, the house was heated with an old pot belly stove and the water would be froze in the morning when they got up. It was darn cold back then I guess.
We really need to go through that again. I hate to say it, but there it is.

Thanks, I figured it was something like that. I’ve read some of her stuff before. She’s very good.
Heck it even happened with just plain ole famine—Irish potato famine. Diaries described how awful it was.
Some of the people ate their babies and living with it drove them crazy.
Ann is one of the unique women who sees the light and tell men to stop the current mindless culture of worshipping soulless women and unscrupulous feminine men politicians.
A Joann of Arc of our time.
