Survival of the Fittest.

That was very difficult time for everyone. USSR had to use all resources in preparation for the inevitable WWII.

Starving ten million people was a war preparation? Really?

You're ridiculous. Hearst was a philanthropist along with countless others in this country who earned money and gave tons and tons of it away. NOT because they HAD to, not because some pissant who thinks he can't get a job thinks that money would be better spent, but because he COULD and DID.

Think about that and what you can't and don't.

Welfare autist.

Well said, and the monies were given away before an income tax was implemented so there was no incentive other than philanthropy to do it.

The USSR brain-washed you well.

I am Jewish -- I am neither a Russian nor an American.

Both USSR and USA had great achievements and great imperfections.

Unfortunately, a lot of the food produced in 1930s had to be sold to the West in exchange for factory equipment which was needed to survive WWII. German victory would have cost hundreds of millions of lives.

If you are not an American then get the $#@! out and stop trying to sponge.

"A combination of dekulakization and collectivization led to mass starvation in many parts of the Soviet Union and the death of an estimated 11 million peasants in the period between 1929 and 1933, including 4 million deaths during the dekulakization campaign."

There is an alternative to ignorance.

Sanctions do the same thing

That's just an excuse. No nation would do that and be moral. We were in the Great Depression and prepared for war without starving 10 million people.

What does your being Jewish have to do with it? Stalin treated you like garbage.

Where have sanctions starved ten million people? I don't even want a link. Just give me a name.
