      Thanks for sharing that article. It wasn’t Russia but the USSR. You might even say Stalin. Interestingly, it was the time of the Great Depression, which was happening worldwide, and which consolidated fascism in Europe.

      During those days, famines were common in lndia as well, which was subject to the British Empire.

        While there was The Great Depression, it did not impact the USSR. Holodomor was a planned genocide.

        But you made a valid point. Artificial shortages whether it be food, fuel or money are engineered by those in power.
