>Communism did more for Eastern Europe than any other system could've ever hope to achieve.

I'm sure all 7-10 million Ukrainians starved to death by the communists would agree with you.

> Collectivization in the Soviet Union, including the Ukrainian SSR, was not popular among the peasantry and forced collectivisation led to numerous peasant revolts. The first five-year plan changed the output expected from Ukrainian farms, from the familiar crop of grain to unfamiliar crops like sugar beets and cotton.
>It has been proposed that the Soviet leadership used the man-made famine to attack Ukrainian nationalism, and thus the man-made famine may fall under the legal definition of genocide

TIPPY TOP-TIER QUOTES:

>Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle. A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was "not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you." The good people died first. Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died. Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did
>The Soviet regime printed posters declaring: "To eat your own children is a barbarian act
>More than 2,500 people were convicted of cannibalism during the Holodomor.
