Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Through Starving Russia is a vivid account of a solitary journey into the heart of the Russian famine. The author, a skilled observer with first hand experience of Russia, reached the country in 1921 and ventured into the stricken areas without the supervision and guidance of the Bolshevist authorities. What he discovered was a catastrophe of incomprehensible proportions, with millions facing starvation and death. The author traveled by train and river steamer, visiting towns and villages, and speaking with countless people who had been stripped of everything by the famine. In the countryside he found peasants and refugees living in makeshift tents, eating grass and insects to survive, and dying in vast numbers. Through Starving Russia is a haunting record of human suffering on an almost unimaginable scale. It sheds essential light on one of the 20th centuryâs most devastating humanitarian disasters, and offers a profound and thought-provoking examination of the intersection of revolution and famine.
