Lawfare Archive: Anne Applebaum on the Red Famine
From November 1, 2017: Stalin\u2019s 1929 agricultural collectivization policy, which catalyzed the most lethal famine in European history, left millions of Ukrainian peasants dead. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Anne Applebaum recently published a book on this famine and the horrors of Stalin\u2019s agricultural collectivization in Ukraine, revealing the more insidious intent behind the Soviet Union\u2019s policy and enforcement. Last week, Benjamin Wittes interviewed Applebaum on her new book, Red Famine: Stalin\u2019s War on Ukraine, to discuss the scope of the book, the devastating impact of Stalin\u2019s policy on Ukraine\u2019s peasant population, and the book\u2019s relevance to Putin\u2019s current agenda.
