A Fome Vermelha by Anne Applebaum
Stalin's War on Ukraine
An in-depth history of the man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932–1933, explaining how forced collectivization, punitive grain requisitions, blacklists, and repression created mass starvation. Drawing on archives and survivor testimonies, it details the targeting of Ukrainian peasants and cultural elites, the sealing of borders and suppression of information, and the roles of party officials and foreign journalists. It situates the famine within efforts to crush Ukrainian national aspirations, weighs the evidence for genocidal intent, and reflects on the catastrophe’s long-term political and cultural consequences.
