It was not the result of devastation The Famine in Ukraine was engineered, orchestrated and directed from the Kremlin. It was implemented by Stalin and his comrades in order to complete Ukraine's subjugation to Moscow, Starvation became the tool This genocide had a double motive, First, it was necessary to destroy the Ukrainian farmers because they NAME: The largest Famine of the 20th century or privation caused by a cataclysmic event such as war. and the Ukrainian farmers became the main victims. formed 80% of the Republic's population and were therefore, the backbone of the intelligentsia-led national revival. Second, the Ukrainian farmers stood in the way of the unbridled exploitation of agriculture wne the regime intended to carry out for the sake of rapid industrialization. "The nationality problem is by its essence a farmer problem," Stalin wrote. Arrests, show trials, executions and deportations destroved the Ukrainian intelligentsia, while the Ukramian kurkuli" or successful farmers were dispossessed and denorted in cattle cars to Russia. Having thus eniminated the country's national and social elites, the regime could now more easily force the leaderless farmer masses into the collective farms. Collectivization was largely completed in Soviet Ukraine by the time the Famine began to be implemented. In 1932 there was enough grain harvested to adequately feed the population. However, Moscow imposed draconian grain quotas on Ukraine which resulted in genocide. Zealous Communist League members and armed troops were dispatched into Ukraine from Russia to guard the fields and warehouses. The troops entered every household, tore up floorboards in their search for buried grain, and confiscated whatever foodstuffs they came across. Resisting farmers were arrested and shot or exiled to Siberia. Theft of food, now Socialist State property, warranted a minimum of five years of imprisonment, or just as often, execution. Anyone caught 'picking up a few stalks of wheat risked being executed on the spot. The regime even went so far as to forbid people from naming the cause they were dying from.
