- A columnist for The Washington Post and author of the Pulitzer-winning Gulag, Applebaum has been writing about Russia since the 1990s. Her fifth book is a detailed study of Stalin’s 1929 policy of agricultural collectivization, which set off the worst famine in European history. Some five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR. Of these, roughly three million were Ukrainians, and Applebaum definitively shows that they died due to deliberate government policy. Drawing on newly opened archives and personal accounts not previously translated, Applebaum substantiates the stories that Stalin suppressed Ukrainian uprisings by closing the borders, stopping food shipments, and letting the rebellious peasants starve.

I love Anne Applebaum's books. One of the best modern historians.
I don't know how naive one has to be in order to think that the elimination of greed is even remotely possible.
Ma tako sympaticzno i szczero buzio, że w ciemna bym kupiła od ni samochód i dała dziecka na przechowanie ;)
Thank god for the fall of the Soviet Union, the true evil empire.
United States is evil responsible for deaths of thousands in Middle East And Africa!
nice jacket...........................
Hi Anne.Hitler was a fascist,evil dude but his people loved him.Stalin was just as evil and his people feared him. Lets just say we have an understanding on the two bad guys. Russia becomes an Allie. Why?
Applebaum's point: all the evil in this world is in the East, and all the goodness in this world in is the enlighted West (THAT DO NOT MAKES PROPAGANDA).
Democracy in Ukraine ?
A very dishonest book, with a tendencious relation relationship to fact. The ignorance of Soviet history.I don't dispute the famine or the mess of the Bolshevik regime, madness even. I just don't like partisan history. However, if one knows more than she does, an interesting talk. thanks for posting
