    So, you’re saying they should’ve just let people in other parts of USSR die, instead of trying to alleviate the famine across the country the best they could by redistributing food where it was most needed?

    That’s not how it works. Having a central authority to “redistribute” resources has shown time and time again that it leads to injustice and corruption. Don’t worry that Lenin and Trotsky and their friends were very well fed all through the famine.

      You’re woefully ignorant on the subject you’re attempting to debate. Perhaps at least read the study I provided in the earlier comment to get an idea of what you’re talking bout.
