New York: Anchor Books/Penguin Random, (2018). A history of one of Stalin's greatest crimes by this Pulitzer award winning writer: "The consequences of which still resonate today. In 1929 Stalin launched his policy of agricultural collectivization - in effect a second Russian revolution - which forced millions of peasants off their land and onto collective farms. The result was a catastrophic famine, the most lethal in European history. At least five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR. . . Applebaum argues that more than three million of those dead were Ukrainians who perished not because they were accidental victims of a bad policy but because the state deliberately set out to kill them."
