Applebaum clearly argues that Soviet policies were not only directly responsible for the Ukrainian famine of 1932 to 1933 or the “Holodomor”, but were an intentionally effort by Stalin and the Soviet leadership to eliminate the political opposition of both Ukrainian nationalists and what they saw as the now-obsolete class of rural peasants. It’s an excellent scholarly work, but probably more detailed than most non-historian readers like myself will need in order to understand what happened in the famine.
