Among other impacts, Stalin’s forced collectivization policies resulted in starving the countryside to feed the cities. At times, organized teams of police would break into peasant households and take everything edible. All this led to a major Soviet famine which killed at least 5 million people, mostly across Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Hungry peasants roamed the countryside, desperately searching for anything to eat. Corpses piled up along the roads. It became clear that Stalin’s policies were pushing the country deeper into crisis, and he desperately needed to turn things around.

It's pretty good, but still has lib brainworms.

It's funny because their own image right before that paragraph shows that the Americans saw that Ukraine was in less of a state of famine than anywhere else in the region.

But, to be fair, their takeaway isn't anything to do with "ebil Stalin" and more using that as a segue into the solution to the problem of famine and the revolutionary methods used to update the Soviet food supply.

Edit: Fuck, they did it again at the end

You can only do so much to make Russian cuisine edible.
