It is very fortunate for Russia in her agony to have this great rugged war chief at her head. He is a man of massive outstanding personality, suited to the sombre and stormy times in wich his life has been cast;a man of inexhaustible courage and will-power and a man direct and even blunt in speech … Above all, he is a man with that saving sense of humour which is of high importance to all men and all nations, but particularly to great men and great nations.Stalin also left upon me the impression of a deep, cool wisdom and complete absence of illusions of any kind. I believe I made him feel that we were good and faithful comrades in this war but this, after all, is a matter which deeds not words will prove.
In previous posts there were reports of the Kiev regional government about the delivery of meat in the first and second quarters of 1933. This report is interesting because at the height of the famine, that is, at a time when all the dogs were to be eaten, in the Kiev region there are tens of thousands of tons of cattle for delivery. Which had to be fed all winter and kept somewhere..... The amount of feed needed to keep pigs, I think, all imagine?There were also sows, milk producing cows (reports on milk yield in the first half of 1933 are also given in the previous post), egg laying hens, sheep for wool etc. (you can also find those reports in the previous post).Well, in order not to say that after the delivery of meat in the first quarter of 1933 the peasants had nothing left, here is the report of the Kiev regional administration on the delivery of meat for August 1933
Which shows that in August 1933, the peasants of the Kiev region, "finishing the last dogs", gave another 20418 quintals of live weight of livestockAnd now the answers to the most common comments...As I did not warn you about "...and my grandmother told me..." today it is one of the most frequent arguments against the Holodomor.I respect all grandmothers in the world, and what they tell, but if these words are not documented (at least something) they remain stories.If we believe the words, then let's believe everything they tell us."One in two hundred women in the U.S. claims to have gotten pregnant without sex." http://0s.o53xo.ozsxg5djfzzhk.cmle.ru/article/1921779Aliens were inducing a man to have an intimate relationship with a monster http://0s.o53xo.nz2hmltsou.cmle.ru/novosti/345458/2. Regarding the fact that not all areas were equally affected by the famine.First of all, according to the official statistics, the human losses in Ukraine (USSR) alone were 7 million (!) people. Seven million out of 28 million people lived on its territory. And Kyiv region (again according to official statistics) is one of the most affected3. Regarding the fact that Soviet statistics are unreliable and lie....Which of the above reports do you consider fake? Again, if there are other versions of the report of the regional government of the Kiev region, for example, on the delivery of meat, then feel free to put it out...4. Well, about these terrible photos used as confirmation of the Holodomor
then, again, for the umpteenth time, "check everything they put in your ears!"ALL these photos were taken by F. Nansen in 1922 in the Volga region. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Голод_в_Поволжье_(1921-1922)Of the more than 10,000 photos of those times, there is NOT ONE photo confirming the mass starvation of 1933.More in the next post
And in general I wonder what right you have there in the collective West to tell us whom of our own historical figures to love and whom to despise.
