Harvest of Despair - (Educational Music Video)

My Great Grandmother came to the USA from Norka Russia in the Volga regions. “common estimates of the famine’s toll lowballed the numbers for the Russian countryside in the Volga regions. At the height of the Holodomor controversy that fall, Izvestia ran an interview with Kondrashin under the headline, “Russia wasn’t killing Ukraine. A leader was killing his people.”” https://www.thedailybeast.com/russia-... "At the outbreak of war with Nazi Germany, Stalin branded all Volga Germans as "spies and saboteurs" https://www.norkarussia.info/history.... "The Bolshevik policies of War Communism (keeping the Red Army stocked with weapons and with food) and prodrazvyorstka (a campaign to confiscate grain and agricultural products) had set the stage for a human tragedy. Mass confiscation of stored grain began in the winter of 1920-21 triggering the beginning of famine in January 1921. " https://www.norkarussia.info/famine-1... "Harvest figures: • The 1931 harvest was 18.3 million tons of grain; • The 1932 harvest was 14.6 million tons of grain; • The 1933 harvest was 22.3 million tons of grain; • The Soviet regime dumped 1.7 million tons of grain on the Western markets at the height of the Holodomor." http://www.sharethestory.ca/learn_mor... http://www.sharethestory.ca/ https://vimeopro.com/user19875879/sha... =============================== "The 1932 harvest yields enough grain to feed the entire population of Ukraine for two years; instead, famine ravishes the country. " NARRATOR: Shortly after the Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov visits Washington in November 1933, the US recognizes the Soviet government and enters agreement in securing a balance of trade in favor of the United States. The following year, the Soviet cover-up achieves its ultimate success: a seat in the League of Nations and this, in spite of the fact Western governments knew all about the Famine. Johann von Herwarth: The government of Weimar, the democratic government, was well aware of what was going on in the Soviet Union. But the attitude of the government was, I would say, you could call it passive, and with the younger one of the Embassy we always were of the opinion then at that period that we ought not to have any commercial relations with the criminal government which allowed hundreds of thousands and even millions of people to starve. The government said we had already great unemployment in Germany, and if we stopped delivering manufactured goods to the Soviet Union, you would increase unemployment in Germany. That was the situation. NARRATOR: Trade relations take precedence. The Famine is regarded as a strictly internal Soviet affair. The Western governments make their peace with Genocide. http://www.ucrdc.org/Film-Harvest_of_...
