The great depression has never starved millions of Ukrainians to death.

iirc…Lysenko (soviet agri-scientist - a shitty one) had convinced the party leaders that his newly bred ‘winter-hardy’ wheat breed was worthy of being planted en masse. It had worked well under ideal lab conditions but failed after several crop yields when planted in the field, and this created famine.
