    Any sources I can refer to for the USSR claim? In my (limited) knowledge all I can recall as a result of USSR’s policies was Holodomor. And Holodomor was probably one of the cruelest genocides in the history of mankind.

      Holodomor is Nazi propaganda. There was a famine in that time, it was bad, and the Soviets did their absolute best to address the situation. Notably that was the last famine in the regions comprising the USSR, compared to the tsarist era when famines occurred every few years.

      Blackshirts and Reds is an easy read that’s recommended on here to no end, and for good reason.
