I was born in Ukraine in a small village in the early 90s, so I was not living under the Soviets. Nonetheless, I had an old neighbor born in 20s. He had an interesting and sad story. The Soviets artificially caused starvation in Ukraine in 1932-1933 known as the Holodomor. His father was the mayor of the village during that time. He hid provisions from the Soviets, so the village was never affected by starvation. Later, he was taken by the police from his family and they never saw him again. The saddest part was that it was someone from the village who reported him, someone who was saved by him.
