Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine by Anne Applebaum

challenging dark informative sad slow-paced

4.75

This was a difficult read, but a necessary one. I knew about the Holodomor in general, but this book has so many harrowingly specific stories and accounts. I'll never forget it.

"The first lesson which is becoming an integral part of Ukrainian consciousness is that Russia has never had and never will have any other interest in Ukraine beyond the total destruction of the Ukrainian nation."

It always was, and currently is, the plan. And if there's one thing I have learned, it's that the spirit of the Ukrainian people is indomitable. The fight will go on. Glory to Ukraine. Слава Україні!
