Sagot :

Answer:

First, the deportation and transportation of food. and second, The extinction of the population

Explanation:

"There are two factors which are simultaneously causing the diminution in the population of the Northern Caucasus now so clearly apparent.  Firstly, the measures for the deportation and transplanting of masses of the population, carried out an [sic] a large scale since last autumn iii connection with the State grain collection, and the fight against “sabotage” by the kulaks, or “rich” peasants.  Secondly, there is the extinction of the population through famine, now in full swing."

According to Dr. Schiller, there are several reasons for the famine of 1932 and some of these are:

  • The Soviet government underestimated the grain produce and instead insists peasants hid it
  • The Soviet government felt secure enough in power to ignore the needs of the peasants
  • The Soviet government did not mind the Cossacks dying

The Soviet famine of 1932 killed millions of people in the Soviet countryside especially amongst peasants, Kulaks and Cossacks.

Dr. Schiller suggested that because the Soviets did not like the Cossacks and the Kulaks, they simply let them die.

The Soviet government also did not render assistance to farmers because they believed that the grain harvest had been plentiful but that farmers were hiding it and so they sent teams of Young Communists to find them.

The government was also so secure in power that they could do what they wanted with the peasants and not worry about rebellion.

In conclusion, there were several causes for the famine of 1932 and the government takes a lion share of the blame.
