Abstract: This scholarly popular publication is dedicated to the Holodomors of 1932–1933 and 1947 in Ukraine. It is the result of many years of archival research and historical investigation conducted by the authors.
The volume brings together and systematizes a series of articles on the Holodomor previously published by the authors in the press, presenting them in the form of a single book. Extensive use of documentary sources, including Communist Party records and materials from the Sectoral State Archive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, provides a solid evidentiary basis for the authors' interpretations and conclusions.
In particular, readers encounter, for the first time, documentary evidence of widespread cannibalism in Ukraine during the famine years derived not from eyewitness recollections, but from criminal case files preserved in archival collections.
Written in an academically rigorous yet accessible style, the book will be valuable to university lecturers and students, school teachers and pupils, as well as to all readers interested in the history of Ukraine and concerned with its future.

Abstract: This collection brings together scholarly studies on the Holodomor of 1932–1933, in which the contributors argue that famine was deliberately employed by the Bolshevik regime as an instrument for implementing its economic policies in the Ukrainian countryside, subjugating the peasantry, and consolidating Soviet power in Ukraine. The volume further supports the conclusion that the artificially induced famine constituted genocide against the Ukrainian people.
The publication also presents the implementation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine's project to digitize archival records from the Holodomor period, with particular emphasis on Collection No. 32 of the Sectoral State Archive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Criminal Case Files of Judicial and Extrajudicial Bodies. It explains how to use the accompanying interactive map, which provides access to digital copies of these archival criminal case files.
The volume includes materials based on eyewitness testimonies of the Holodomor, as well as papers presented at conferences and scholarly readings organized by the National Academy of Internal Affairs between 2008 and 2023.
The final section contains selected excerpts from archival documents that support the conclusions presented in the analytical report prepared on the basis of the archival files from the above-mentioned collection.
This publication is intended for researchers, university lecturers, students, and all readers interested in the history of the Ukrainian people.

Title: The Hungry Steppe
Famine, Violence, and the Making of Soviet Kazakhstan

Place of publication: USA, New York
Year: 2018
Language: English

Abstract: The Hungry Steppe examines one of the most heinous crimes of the Stalinist regime, the Kazakh famine of 1930–33. More than 1.5 million people perished in this famine, a quarter of Kazakhstan's population, and the crisis transformed a territory the size of continental Europe. Yet the story of this famine has remained mostly hidden from view. Drawing upon state and Communist party documents, as well as oral history and memoir accounts in Russian and in Kazakh, Sarah Cameron reveals this brutal story and its devastating consequences for Kazakh society.
