Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine, 1921-1933 by Anne Applebaum

challenging dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

It felt a bit dense at first, but thrn it gained momentum.  Its so sad that in the end the USSR got its way even after WWII. The denial narrative, the accusations of fanatical nationalism and Nazism against Ukraine, while Nazis planned to do the exact same, and there were Ukrainian soldiers in the troops that helped defeat Hitler are ridiculous. They, the USSR,  even got away with reshaping the definition of genocide so that they wouldn't get accused of it.
Memory eternal to all victims, dissidents and truth bearers who dared to speak out.
