For a scholarly and detailed account of the large-scale starvation and other
atrocities perpetrated first by Stalin and then continued by Hitler in the
Ukraine, see the book "Badlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin" by
Timothy Snyder, published in 2010 by Basic Books, New York. --Francis

This is what I found on Google:
"Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to
cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking
independence from his rule.
As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished in this farming area,
known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the people deprived of the food
they had grown with their own hands."
