Today 4pm candles will be lit to commemorate the #Holomodor of 1932-33, Stalin's enforced starvation of Ukraine. 5m+ died. In 1932, USSR exported 1.73m tonnes of grain, 1.68m in 1933 when reserves were 1.8m tonnes. Human life counts for little when building the Communist utopia.
As Orwell put it - 'there's something wrong with a regime that requires a pyramid of corpses every few years ... All people who are morally sound have known since 1931 that the Russian regime stinks.'
But British pro-Soviet enthusiasts denied anything really serious was going on.
