Born in 1915 (was 18 years old at time of Famine). Disabled veteran of the WWII. Orphaned early; brought up by older siblings; family was poor. Little food left in late January; a detailed account of how even that was taken violently by activists; sought work on a state farm (and could take some meat from a fallen horse). Cannibalism account of a girl who reported her family for cannibalism (they killed 18 people). Gives a bitter assessment of Stalin’s and local activists' role in these events as well as the hand dealt him by fate. Names the perpetrators; says they were enriching themselves instead of surrendering their spoils to the state. Names some of the notable people who became innocent victims of prosecution. Quotes a ditty about Stalin (No cow, no pig, only Stalin on the wall). - Date d'original
