El resultado fue una hambruna sin precedentes; al menos cinco millones de personas, la gran mayoría de origen ucraniano, perecieron entre 1931 y 1934. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePero esas muertes no fueron daños colaterales de una mala política pública, sino absolutamente deliberadas.

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. But instead of sending relief the Soviet state made use of the catastrophe to rid itself of a political problem. In \u003ci\u003eRed Famine\u003c\/i\u003e, Anne 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. Devastating and definitive, \u003ci\u003eRed Famine\u003c\/i\u003e captures the horror of ordinary people struggling to survive extraordinary evil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eApplebaum's compulsively readable narrative recalls one of the worst crimes of the twentieth century, and shows how it may foreshadow a new threat to the political order in the twenty-first.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eANNE APPLEBAUM\u003c\/b\u003e es columnista para The Washington Post, profesora asociada en la London School of Economics y colaboradora de The New York Review of Books.
