@BolshevikCake The nomads in Kazakhstan were fundamentally critical of the Soviet system; there were several violent uprisings, and the government wanted to settle them. Naturally, there was a conflict of interest.

@Lodzer_ "soviet terror"
rhe USSR had no reason for terrorizing Kazakhs lmao. But even if this was true, in confirms that the holodomor wasnt a genocide aimed at Ukrainians

Communist love to use the kazakh famine of 1930–1933 as an argument against the Holodomor and forget, that it was also a example of soviet terror
Expropriation and forced sedentarization deprived the nomads of their livelihood, but the government continued to take whats left

@MeEleminaSenhor @AchilesParadise The most affected states were in Kazakhstan, not in Ukraine or southern Russia. Secondly, the map you showed is as fucking population loss map from 1929 - 33 period. It has nothing to do with intensification of famine in USSR lmaooo

The industrialization of the Soviet Union was based on the economic boom of the Tsarist Empire around the turn of the century
Russia had an 8% growth rate, was the fifth-largest industrial producer worldwide and built 12,300 km of railway lines alone between 1915-17

In 1803, Protestant German settlers from Baden and Württemberg founded the village Königsbach east of Łódź/Lodz My ancestors arrived soon after. Remote Bukowiec/Königsbach remained ethnically German for a long time. Here is a German grave in those Polish forests.
A rally by the German People’s Association/DVV, Łódź/Lodz, Poland, 1938
In the interwar period, the DVV developed in a similar way to many other associations of Volksdeutsche. What began as a liberal organization quickly turned into a radically National Socialist one after 1933
