The book draws on a mass of archival material and first-hand testimony. It includes accounts by survivors describing what human beings can do when driven mad by hunger. It shows how the Soviet state used propaganda to turn neighbours against each other in order to expunge supposedly 'anti-revolutionary' elements. It also records the actions of extraordinary individuals who did all they could to relieve the suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe famine was rapidly followed by an attack on Ukraine's cultural and political leadership - and then by a denial that it had ever happened. The Soviet authorities were determined not only that Ukraine should abandon its national aspirations, but that the country's true history should be buried along with its millions of victims. \u003ci\u003eRed Famine\u003c\/i\u003e, a triumph of scholarship and human sympathy, is a milestone in the recovery of those memories and that history.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44268270682270,"sku":"UBD-9780141978284","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141978284.jpg?v=1725451238","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141978284","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
