One of my buddies is a hardened anti communist who thinks communists only create famines and genocides. He linked the wiki page of the Kazakh famine and I can only assume its the most biased crap out there. I need sources about what really happenned and caused the famine. Thank you comrades!

Many countries had periodic famines in their pre-industrial histories. China had plenty before the PRC, and the Russian Empire had some, too. Agricultural production can be thought of as a machine that would occasionally break down.

If you are given responsibility of a machine that occasionally breaks down, the machine breaks down once soon after you take over, and then never ever again, you fixed the machine.
