You say that but as soon as CHUDs got bored for a week they started trying to kidnap the governor of Michigan to “protect their rights”

Do they think everyone was a Normal Rockwell grey-faced peasant slowly labouring in the fields until tv was invented People played games, sang songs, told jokes and stories, got drunk all the time and amused themselves and each other.

Hi hot takes thread. Question: what is the evidence for Soviet maliciousness causing the Holodormir? What's the evidence that it was caused by kulak fit-throwing and western blockades?

What do you think about Stalin's directive "Preventing the Mass Exodus of Peasants who are Starvipng"? I couldn't easily find the text but would be very interested to read it.

there's a fair amount of evidence that the soviets, though a combination of political priorities and simple neglect, condemned the ukrainian countryside to a worse fate than the russian metropole; they also continued their industrialisation programme at a time when they probably could've prioritised feeding people. the idea that it was a deliberate, targeted genocide doesn't hold up, though - parts of central asia were hit worse, proportionally, than ukraine was

At the time these choices were made the nazis were still total outsiders though. Though in hindsight yes absolutely, gotta industrialize to kill fascists.

mycomancy posted:Please help educate an ignorant, can you link to something elaborating on this? During the Russian Civil War, the Allied powers from WWI invaded various parts of the former Russian Empire for various anti-Bolshevik reasons, first to restore a government that would keep fighting Germany and then, after November 1918, to help the Whites against the Bolsheviks out of their own anticommunism. The interventions were generally small-scale and ineffectual and didn't actually do much fighting, they were more like the organized seizure of Russian ports to facilitate shipping supplies to the Whites and the evacuation of anti-Bolshevik Russians when it was obvious the Whites were going to lose, but nonetheless for the Bolsheviks they were interpreted as proof of the longstanding assumption that the capitalist world would never tolerate the existence of a socialist state, and that the temporary absence of war was not evidence of any kind of lasting peace or modus vivendi. It wasn't until the Khrushchev era that the USSR would stop interpreting almost all foreign affairs through the lens of inevitable war with the capitalist world, and it helps any understanding of Soviet decision-making immensely to remember that this was their principal anxiety for about the first four decades of the existence of the USSR.
