The Holodomor Mythology - Interview With Comrade Slava
Manage episode 349965647 series 2849701
With the German parliament recently passing a resolution proclaiming that the Soviet leadership in the ealry 1930's engaged in a deliberate policy of starvation in Ukraine it was clearly time to look at the mythology this resolution is based on. Comrade Slava from the Chicago Workers School joins me for this episode where we examine why the 'holodomr' is a myth created by a combination of the Nazi regime, Ukrainian fascists, the Hearst press and reactionary British historian Robert Conquest. We also examine why this myth has been sustained and how it is used by Ukrainian fascists to this day. We also look at the role played by Trotsky in all this (and it's not a good one). The final part of the episode deals with the reality of collectivisation, crop failures and the actual actions of the Soviet government in Ukraine and Moscow.
