Romanian Eagle

While Romania is busy choosing a new prime minister, a violent tragedy is taking place in the Soviet Republic of Ukraine, which is separated by a border.

In this dry and cold weather, Riltov was looking for his traps in the woods outside the village to see if there was any prey.

A round of inspections disappointed him very much, and there was no prey. Only the dead crow he picked up halfway made Riltov not feel too sad. The churning stomach acid in his stomach made Riltov extremely uncomfortable, and he knew that it was because his body was ****** that he didn't eat. However, thinking of his mother, sister, wife, and children at home, the family was still waiting for him, Lirtov could only continue to search hard in the silent field.

Not far away, others could be seen looking for food in the wilderness just like him. In order to save energy, they basically don't speak. Everyone looked around vigilantly, like a lonely hungry wolf in the wilderness. However, they do not have the ability to hunt like wolves, and can only find small animals hibernating in the wilderness. If anyone can find the voles' nest, that's something to cheer about. Because the current vole's nest has its stored food, which can not only allow people to eat meat but also get valuable food.

Yes, for the current Soviet Ukrainian Republic, food is the most tempting thing.

There are multiple reasons for everything, including the impact of the drought on Ukrainian domestic agriculture. However, the main influence comes from man-made, and the order to come to Moscow is also one of the important driving forces. The "Five-Year Plan" did not play a big role in the Soviet Union, but its impact was not only good, but also bad.

A large number of people were gathered into urban factories, reducing the Soviet agricultural population, but its tasks were increasing. In addition, in order to develop heavy industry, the Soviet Union exported most of the grains produced by collective farms to obtain foreign exchange and equipment needed for industrialization. It is also one of the reasons.

Since 1928, the grain collected by the Soviet government in Ukraine accounted for 42% of the total grain collection of the entire Soviet Union. You know, Ukraine is about three times the size of the Soviet Union.

Another problem is that it is not only a predatory grain expropriation in the countryside, but also a "collectivist" transformation, requiring all farmers to join the "collective farms". For those who did not cooperate with the reform, they were directly classified as "kulaks", which would be executed or exiled to Siberia. Many farmers are afraid of being classified as "rich peasants", so they naturally dare not cultivate, which leads to a sharp decline in the productivity of agricultural production technology.

In direct proportion to the enthusiasm of farmers in production is the grain output of Ukraine, which has been declining year by year since 1930. In 1930, Ukraine’s output was 22.9 million tons, and the final amount of grain handed over to the Soviet Union was 7.8 million tons, that is, 13 were handed over. Barely survived.

In 1931, the total grain output was only 17.6 million tons, and 7 million tons still had to be handed over to the Soviet Union. For this reason, farmers had to use the grain reserves.

But the situation has been deteriorating. By 1932, the output was only 12.8 million tons, but the Ukrainians were stunned by the indicators, which increased instead of falling, and 7.7 million tons of grain had to be handed in! That is to say, more than 60% of the total output has to be handed over, which is far beyond the affordability of Ukrainian farmers.

The peasants didn’t want to starve to death, and of course they didn’t want to give up. Stalin’s big plans for urban industrialization were the top priority, and they had to be pushed forward steadily, and those local bureaucrats also needed to “infuse political achievements” to take credit, so Governments at all levels, from the central to the local level, have sent people to take food by force, and they cannot even raise any objections. Anyone who has objections is "anti-Bushwick". It also stipulates that "theft of collective farm property" can be punished by ****. Just to advance the "collective farms", they launched a political campaign of "strike hard", arresting tens of thousands of people and executing nearly 5,000 people.

However, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union issued another fatal policy, the order to implement an "identity card system" throughout the Soviet Union,

It was stipulated that all citizens of the whole Soviet Union, except peasants, could obtain status... Then, in January 1933, the Ukrainian Politburo made a decision: "Prohibition of train stations from selling train tickets to peasants to leave Ukraine". Any starving people fleeing Ukraine are arrested as "class enemies" and will inevitably die.

Therefore, farmers in Ukraine are completely tied to Ukraine and cannot even escape from the famine. If in the original history, the Ukrainian people could only endure this situation until Moscow found out that there was a major famine in Ukraine and provided relief materials.

But now Ukrainian farmers have some new ideas, and that is to escape to Romania. Because Western Ukraine is occupied by Romania, the connection between the two sides will not be completely blocked. Although the Soviet-Ukrainian government tried its best to block the border between the two countries, it still could not completely prevent the communication between the two sides. After all, there are too many relatives between the two Ukraine. How could the Ukrainian people not understand Western Ukraine, which is under Romanian rule. Therefore, about the situation in Western Ukraine, the Ukrainian people in the Soviet Union have some understanding of it.

And in the village where Riltov lived, there happened to be a person who was related in West Ulan.

Solvasv was a friend of Riltov, and when Riltov was looking for food in the wild, his friend also came to find him.

"Aunt Noel, is Lertov at home?"

"He's not here, he's gone outside the village."

"thanks."

When Riltov returned to the village with the dead crow, he happened to see his friend Solvasv waiting for someone at the entrance of the village against the cold wind.

"Solwasf, who are you waiting for?"

Riltov, who clearly saw that he was his friend from afar, greeted him.

After seeing Riltov, Solvasf hurried forward and said in a low voice. "I'm waiting for you."

"Wait what I do."

He was dragged into a remote corner by Solwasf, who didn't understand his friend's intentions at all, and his friend was worried and looked around and said in a low voice. "I can't live this day anymore, I want to leave the village."

"Then you want to go..."

Riltov, who was about to ask questions, seemed to understand at this time, and after looking around the same way and not seeing anyone else, he said in a low voice. "You don't want to die, and you dare to say this kind of thing here."

True, Romania was a taboo subject in Soviet Ukraine. Anyone who dares to talk about this topic casually, the Home Office will let them know how serious the consequences are.
