weirdly enough, despite their uneducated central "planists" who all got murdered; they somehow with sticks, stones and "uneducated workers" that were all brought back to life via Leninist necromancy managed to make a famine not happen again. Weird. It's almost like the exploiters of that land were causing famines by their own mismanagement and that central planning actually contributed to the fact that the average soviet citizen ate better than the average American one.
Also, can I get some sources on the Soviets just selling all their grain? You know, when I set up a communist society; the first thing I'd do is satisfy all my trade agreements with the west instead of serving the people! That makes sense!
Oh and sources on the KNVD just brutally marauding across the land and murdering? I can only find deportations.
Start showing your sources, lib.

No ones yet to explain to me why we should apologise when the Kulaks literally went on record that they ordered grain be burned to increase the price, during a famine, directly killing hundreds of thousands of people.
Agreed.
