Chapter 232 Persecution of the Soviet Union

() Cui Kefu's heart was tugged again by Qin Wei's words.

He was suddenly a little afraid to talk to this person.

"Ukrainian Famine"!That was a taboo topic in the Soviet Union, especially among senior officials like them, it was a taboo among taboos.In order to prevent people from knowing about the Great Famine, the Soviet government implemented a strict information blockade, but how did this guy in front of him know?

Everyone knows that the Ukrainian famine was actually a disaster caused by Stalin’s agricultural collectivization movement. The cause of the famine was caused by natural factors, but more importantly, human factors.Among the top leaders of the Soviet Union, there is more or less speculation that this famine may be a genocide against the Ukrainian nation deliberately created by humans.

Chuikov knew that Stanislav Vikendyevich Kosior, one of the main persons responsible for the Great Famine in Ukraine at the time, issued an instruction at a local cadre meeting in the summer of 1930, saying that Ukrainian peasants They were unwilling to cooperate with the Soviet regime and tried to kill the Soviet regime, but the enemies of the Soviet communist regime made a wrong calculation. The task of the cadres was to go to the Ukrainian countryside to collect the hidden grain, so that the peasants could also taste the taste of hunger. ... This is even more terrifying than the "surplus grain collection system" adopted when the Soviet Union was first established.You must know that the "surplus grain collection system" was introduced because the Soviet Union, which was just born at that time, faced a large number of internal and external enemies, and the front line was short of food.In order to defeat the enemy, Lenin and others used such a trick.Relying on the surplus grain collection system, the Soviet regime had enough grain and quickly suppressed the enemy.But in the same way, due to the lack of effective management in the implementation process, some areas adopted simple and rude methods, which aroused the resistance of farmers in many areas... so.In 1921, Lenin and others put forward the New Economic Policy, and the surplus grain collection system was eventually replaced by the grain tax.

However, when the Ukrainian famine occurred, Ukraine took up the "surplus grain collection system" again... Cuikov knew that from 1932 to 1933, when the famine reached its peak, there were even cannibalism in the Ukrainian countryside, and The event of re-digging and eating the dead bodies of cats, dogs, domestic animals, and humans that had been buried during winter.Of course, these things are not recognized by the Soviet government.Their caliber to the outside world is the same as that reported by New York Times reporter Walter Duranty, who once won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the brilliant achievements of the Soviet Union’s five-year plan: There was no famine in Ulankgen, nor can happen.

Because Ukraine is the most famous granary in Europe.

But this matter cannot be hidden from people of Cuikov's level.

Because of the forced collectivization of agriculture, a large number of members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were sent to the countryside to mobilize farmers to join collective farms.As a result, these people encountered passive and active resistance in Ukraine.This eventually led to the collective arrest and exile of the "rich peasants" in Ukraine by the Soviet Union.A large number of Ukrainian farmers who are good at farming and rich in agricultural experience were classified as "rich peasants", and their families were exiled to Siberia and Central Asia, resulting in a decline in Ukrainian agricultural production technology and productivity.The farmers who were saved from exile were unwilling to farm for fear of being classified as rich peasants. The direct result was that in 1932 Ukraine's grain production plummeted.It was expected that 9070 million tons of grain could be harvested across the Soviet Union that year, but only 5500 to 6000 million tons were actually harvested.The amount of grain confiscated by the Soviet government also fell from the expected 2650 million tons to 1850 million tons.In order to solve the problem of food shortage. On August 1932, 8, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union promulgated a new decree stipulating that "theft of property from collective farms" could be punished by death.This decree fundamentally prohibits farmers from taking any agricultural products for themselves.By January 7, 1933 peasants had been arrested on this charge.Of these, 1 were sentenced to death.

After prohibiting farmers from possessing the harvested grain, on December 1932, 12, the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union issued another order to confiscate all means of production in Ukraine.Including farm tools, livestock, seeds and other things, all of them will be owned by the public.The transport of any food and manufactured goods into the Ukrainian countryside is prohibited, and the off-site trading of commodities and agricultural products is prohibited throughout Ukraine.In addition, a grain search team was sent to the Ukrainian countryside to confiscate farmers' surplus grain, rations, and seed grain.

In addition, from 1933 onwards, the Soviet Union adopted a new method of grain statistics, instead of actually receiving the figures in the barn, but using "biological yield" to exaggerate the yield of farmland. A "biological yield" was used as a ration, forcing collective farms to pay more grain.But apart from making the Soviet agricultural output in the 30s and 40s beyond the imagination of any foreign experts, it did not do any good to the actual agricultural production. <Day, extremely serious famine began to appear throughout Ukraine.While the CPSU and Ukrainian Politburo issued some days of relief, the drought in western Russia and much of Ukraine exacerbated the extent of the famine.But the government of the Soviet Union prohibited the movement of victims of the disaster. The communication between Ukraine and the Don River Basin and the outside world was interrupted, and travel to these areas was prohibited.Any starving people who tried to leave Ukraine without permission were arrested as "class enemies".

"But these things should be tightly sealed. Even in the Soviet Union, people like me don't know the specific situation, let alone the outside world. How do the Chinese know?" Thinking about knowing Yes, or through hearsay, or through other channels, or through some information he summed up, Cui Kefu looked at Qin Wei with murderous intent—this Chinese is too dangerous and should be eliminated!

But Qin Wei didn't seem to feel it, he took out a newspaper from somewhere and spread it on the table in front of him, and then began to mutter:

"After the 'October Revolution', the Bolshevik Party immediately implemented the economic 'military' system, and implemented the monopoly system and expropriation system for food. In fact, this kind of 'military' has no necessary connection with the 'military'. Lenin in the ' Before the October Revolution, it was declared: "Food monopoly, bread rationing and general labor obligation system are in the hands of the proletarian state the most powerful means of calculation and supervision." Therefore, 'military', in Lenin's view Come, it is a basic national policy, not just an expedient measure in wartime..."

"...In order to completely monopolize the grain, the state sent a large number of grain requisition teams to the countryside, and the rations that the peasants depended on were often taken away. This kind of 'military force' caused severe social conflicts, which broke out in rural areas of the Soviet Union The peasant uprising. The sailors in Kronstadt rose up and rioted. This made Lenin feel that the Soviet regime was facing "the most serious political and economic crisis". In order to stabilize the situation and overcome the crisis, the so-called "New Economic Policy" was introduced. The 'New Economic Policy' decided to replace the food collection system with a grain tax, allowing agricultural products to be bought and sold freely. In terms of industry, it also loosened to a certain extent... The 'New Economic Policy' temporarily eased the crisis. However, the 'New Economic Policy' is Forced by a serious crisis, Lenin did not like it, his successor Stalin hated it even more. When the crisis seems to be over, when the situation has stabilized, when the measures against resistance have been more carefully arranged, when the chains of dictatorship have been Forged stronger, when the terror in people's hearts has generally wiped out the impulse to resist, the 'New Economic Policy' should be abolished. And since the implementation of the 'New Economic Policy', the Stalins have thought about abolishing it as soon as possible. In 1929, Stalin finally announced publicly: "Go to hell with the New Economic Policy!" Therefore, what was re-implemented was not the "military" that had been the "Lenin model" before, but was harsher than the "Lenin model" and ignored people's survival The 'Stalinist model' of rights."

"...First, the peasants in the Ukrainian region, almost all of them became rich peasants and became 'class enemies'. Then it was announced that all grain and means of production in the area would be confiscated. Every grain, including seeds, would be taken into public ownership. All furniture, All the livestock were taken away. Countless food search teams rampaged through the Ukrainian region. They broke into every house, corners, under the bed, on the roof, and searched all places where a few grains of grain might be hidden; potatoes, beets, cabbages , everything that could be eaten was taken away. So, starvation came very quickly. Ukrainians who were dying of starvation tried to flee to the field, but it was impossible. All roads leading to the outside of Ukraine were blocked. Some children went crazy with hunger They desperately wanted to rush out, so the KGB beat them to death like hares..."

"...the food search team is gone. The corpse search team is here. Perhaps, the food search team has directly become a corpse search team. The reason why they are 'searching corpses' instead of 'collecting corpses' is because every time a corpse is disposed of, You can get 200 grams of bread. This was a great temptation in the Soviet Union at that time. So they were very active in 'searching' for corpses. They threw those skinny corpses into huge pits like garbage, and then covered them When they searched for corpses, those who were still breathing, those whose stomachs were still rising and falling from hunger, were often thrown into the pit as well. After all, the corpse search team also wanted to get 200 grams of bread. Sometimes. The person who is still alive and has the last trace of strength begs the corpse search team: 'I am not dead yet! I want to live!' The corpse search team's answer is: 'Die today, so we don't have to come back tomorrow !'... I once met a survivor who choked up and described what she had witnessed: when the search team left the mass grave, the earth covering it was still squirming..."

"Ukraine, the most famous granary in Europe, was starved to death more than 700 million people consciously by the Soviet government led by Stalin. , with a total of almost 3000 million..."

……

"enough--"

Cui Kefu yelled and interrupted Qin Wei's reading aloud... But after seeing Qin Wei's innocent expression, he sighed again. He knew that he had lost, and Qin Wei had already put the "knife" on his neck...

"Kill Lyusikov, we will help you!"
