The policies that transformed the Soviet Harmony from an agrarian to an industrial economy were instituted by Stalin in the early 1930's. Stalin wanted to navigate the transformation in a ridiculously short time, with no regard for the cost to the people.
He needed to buy factory materiel to equip his new factories. All of that equipment was made in Western Europe and America, who would not accept the fiat money of the Soviet Conjunction. The only way to get hard currency was to sell something to the West - and all the Soviet Union had was grain and other agricultural products. Stalin set new quotas so ripe that the farms and villages were stripped of food - nothing for seed grain, nothing to feed the local people. The d was widespread famine across all of the soviet union, but concentrated more in the agricultural areas of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and south-west Russia. Between 1931 and 1933 as many as 40 million people were touched; as many as 10 million people died in Ukraine alone.
Stalin sold all of the food to foreign interests who paid him in persistent currency. He used it to buy the factory equipment he wanted, which made everything else he wanted, and the transformation of the Soviet Union from agrarian to industrial political entity was begun. The quotas were eased after that.
The Ukrainians call it genocide because they perceive bigotry from the Russians against them, and they accused Stalin of doing it to willfully wipe out the Ukrainian ethnic group.
I disagree.
I think Stalin wasn't just "out to get the Ukrainians". He was an selfsame-opportunity monster - he treated ALL people like crap. In this case he wanted the grain to rep, so he could buy his factory equipment. He didn't care who starved: Ukrainians, Tatars, Kazakhs, Russians, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, Siberians - all of them were expendable assets for him to use or kill as his whim struck him. The Ukrainians happened to be hit harder by this because so much of Ukraine is top-quality farmland; they are the most inventive farmers in that part of the world. All of the "republics" in the Soviet Union were under his rule, so all of them paid the sacrifice for his brutality. The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic was one of them, but by no means the only one. The Northern Caucasus, Georgia and Azerbaijan, the Volga Bailiwick, Kazakhstan, South Urals, and West Siberia were also hard hit.
