Beginning in 1917 and ending in the present day, Anne Applebaum’s new book tells the story of the famine engineered by Stalin in 1932-33 that was meant to destroy Ukraine. 

Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine begins in 1917, with the Ukrainian revolution and the Ukrainian national movement that challenged Bolshevik rule. It ends in the present, with a discussion of the ongoing politics of memory in Ukraine. Red Famine bears witness to a genocide that killed nearly four million people, destroyed the aspirations of Ukraine for two generations and has real echoes in the politics of the present.
