🧵Thread with pages from Soviet magazine "Перець" ('Pepper') from 1930s. This is one of the most blatant propaganda papers that was extremely popular in Ukrainian SSR and was published in Ukrainian. Another example how russians used national languages. #RussianColonialism /1
1932. Holodomor. Millions of Ukrainians are starving to death as a result of man made famine. Meanwhile, the article tells us about food riots in Hindenburg (now Zabrze, Poland) and how police arrest hungry people there. /2
1933. Holodomor. Millions of Ukrainians are starving to death as a result of man made famine. The cover shows the dialogue of two peasants:
- Why are there so many people in the field?
- As the proverb says: Hard work brings plenty of food to kolkhoz. /3
1934. 5-8 millions of Ukrainians died because of Holodomor. Meanwhile on the cover we see a man surrounded with many bags of wheat (I think so). He counts his bags and complains: "Well I don't know what I can give to the state...I don't have even an extra grain" /4
1934. 5-8 millions of Ukrainians died because of Holodomor. On the cover a dialogue between a tourist (is this W. Duranty?) and kolkhoz worker:

Worker - Well, all you can see it's ours. Our system. /5
