U.S.S.R.

• WHO Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin, Lenin died
  while still in power and was succeed by Stalin.
• WHAT Stalin forced a famine in the Ukraine by
  exporting all of the food to Russian cities. He
  declared the farmers to be enemies of the people.
• WHERE The USSR and Ukraine farmlands.
• WHEN Battles involving the Ukraine had been
  going on long before the famine began in 1932 and
  ended in 1933.
• WHY Stalin didnt want to give up the rich soil
  in the Ukraine. So he exported all of the food
  from the farmlands to Russian cities.

International Community

• The international community had done nothing to
  help the Ukraine against the USSR.
• The countries that entered Ukraine came to
  exploit the farmlands as the Soviets did.
• I think the surrounding countries should have
  stepped in to help the Ukrainians, or atleast
  have send food to the starving people.
• I think they didnt because they were afraid of
  the massive size of the U.S.S.R. and Stalins
  terror.

Similarities to the Holocaust

• Similarities
• Millions of people were killed.
• The kulaks and farmers were de-humanized and
  rights taken away.
• They were both sent to labor camps to work as
  slaves.

• Differences
• The Kulaks were not sent to death camps but were
  starved to death.
• The starving was because the Kulaks resisted the
  USSR.
• Stalin wanted to take away the Kulaks rights to
  get their fertile farmlands.
