The Great Famine in Ukraine caused many people like Riltov and Solvasev's family to flee to Romania. And Romania accepted so many Ukrainians who fled, so naturally it would not embarrass these poor people. Romania had no experience.
He did not make things difficult for them and provided them with accommodation and food.
However, Romania had no intention of letting go of the Soviet Union's performance during the Great Famine in Ukraine.
Mihalakai was asking a subordinate in the Prime Minister's Office. "Are you all ready?"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. We are already prepared. This time we will let everyone know the ugly and oppositional face of the Soviets. They will definitely be able to show their faces in front of the people of the world."
"Go ahead."
After sending this subordinate away, Mihalakai remembered what he said when he met Edel in the palace.
"This is an excellent opportunity for Romania, and the Ukrainian people who have fled are the best evidence. As long as we expose the matter, the entire civilized society will condemn this kind of behavior that does not take into account people's livelihood. But be creative and don't make the topic
Instead of directing it to disaster relief for the Ukrainian people, we should focus on the fact that the Soviet Union still exported food during the famine years. It is best to guide public opinion to the fact that this is the genocide of Ukrainians by the Soviet government. This will deepen Ukrainians’ resentment towards the Soviet Union.
To drive a wedge between them."
Prime Minister Mihalaka deeply agreed with the king's idea. This not only increased the pressure on the Soviet Union, but also undermined the European people's identification with the Soviet Union. Now many people in Europe regard the Soviet Union as a model for the working class to be the masters of the country.
And I have a good impression of him. Now that this incident has broken out, at least many people will recognize him less.
And it can also cause a blow to the Soviet Union's exports, especially the bulk of the grain exported in exchange for foreign exchange, which must be linked to the lives of Ukrainians. The slogan has been thought out, every grain of grain exported by the Soviet Union comes from the hungry people of Ukraine
To buy food from the Soviet Union is to take away other people's lives.
Although it is impossible to block the Soviet Union's determination to export grain, it can allow many profiteers to use this excuse to lower prices, which in turn can reduce the foreign exchange obtained by the Soviet Union and increase the difficulty of its industrialization. It can be said to be the best of both worlds, so Romania must let
This matter was made public, allowing people in other countries to take a good look at the face of the Soviet Union.
The next day, almost all newspapers in Romania were reporting on the Great Famine in Ukraine. As the largest newspaper in Romania, the Romanian Daily published photos secretly taken from Ukraine.
In the photo, several skinny Ukrainian women and their sallow-looking children sat numbly on the ground. There was also an old farmer who was equally skinny and looked longingly at the dry farmland.
The newspaper wrote below that there is currently a great famine in Ukraine, and the Soviets completely ignored the local victims and forcibly took away the food from their homes and left them to fend for themselves. And in order to ensure their ambitions, the Soviet government will
A large amount of food seized from the victims of the Ukrainian disaster was exported to Europe in exchange for needed technology and equipment.
As far as this newspaper knows, in order to cover up the disaster in Ukraine, the Soviet Union ordered various railway stations to prohibit the sale of train tickets to farmers leaving Ukraine. Moreover, Ukrainians who fled to our country said that they could not help but be chased by the military and police in Ukraine, and even
Some people were so hungry that they began to eat people. They first dug out the recently dead people from the cemetery and ate them, and later they attacked other people.
The Soviet Union has always flaunted itself as a country where the people are the masters of the country. It is really ridiculous that a country where the people are the masters of the country can have such horrifying things as cannibalism. Here we need to ask, do the Soviets dare to let others
People from the country should go to Ukraine. With a conscience, this newspaper calls on those who buy Soviet food to stop. What you are buying is food rations for Ukrainian victims. Buying less Soviet food is the best contribution to the victims.
.
Romanian newspapers reported aggressively on the famine in Ukraine, which soon spread to other countries. In order to attract public attention, many newspapers sent reporters to Romania to interview those who had escaped from the disaster.
The situation they learned from the victims was exactly what was reported in the Romanian media. In order to better reflect the scale of the victims, Romania concentrated them. So these reporters were shocked when they saw the densely packed Ukrainian victims. And they sent back
The reports further increased the public’s understanding of the Great Famine in Ukraine.
Among them, The Times published a photo. It showed a man with a cheerful face, and the introduction below said that his name was Rirtov, a man named Domakov from Zaporozhye, Ukraine.
Collective farm. On February 16, Riltov's family (family of five) and his friend's family (family of six) escaped from their hometown.
They were chased by the military and police on the grounds that they could not run around without a pass issued by the farm, otherwise they would be arrested and sent to a labor camp (according to Riltov, he had never seen anyone released from a labor camp).
). They also experienced pursuits by cannibal thugs. It is said that they were almost caught by these people once. Finally, they were intercepted by the Border Patrol. Riltov witnessed several executions of them by the army.
He and his friend's two families, a total of six people escaped. (Don't think this number is low, in this refugee camp there are many families where only one or two people escape.)
In our interviews, we found that such tragedies are very common among them. Almost everyone's experience is the same. So we can infer from this that the social order in Ukraine has collapsed, and there are both natural and man-made disasters.
.However, most of the factors were caused by man-made disasters, and these people were basically Ukrainians. And I also learned from them that the Soviet government was not interested in the disaster in Ukraine and did not take any relief measures. This made me deeply puzzled.
Aren’t Ukrainians citizens of the Soviet Union? Why are they being ignored now?
The Times report pushed the Ukrainian famine to a new level. Many charities asked the Soviet Union to allow them to go to Ukraine for disaster relief, but they were flatly rejected by the Soviet Union. It is better to hold on to it than to let these people go to Ukraine. This
The Moscow government still knows one thing.
In the face of international public opinion, the Soviet Union flatly denied that it was suffering from domestic disasters, but had to provide some food for disaster relief. So how much food did the Soviet Union provide?
350,000 tons of grain.
It would not be bad if so much food could help millions of people, but unfortunately there are 30 million people in Ukraine affected by the disaster. It is impossible to sustain this amount of food, and the Ukrainian famine will continue.
When people in other countries learned that the Soviet Union prohibited people from other countries from entering the Soviet Union and also slandered those who fled to Romania as criminals, their disgust towards the Soviet Union became much higher. Politicians in many countries took the opportunity to point out to their citizens that
This is the fate of the red political party in power. They will not care about the life and death of the people.
Some people even said in newspapers that this was an intentional massacre of Ukrainians by the Soviet Union to achieve ulterior motives. As for this statement, it is a matter of opinion.
However, as the European people learned about the Great Famine in Ukraine, their interest in red ideas greatly decreased, and the guild movement in Europe also fell into a downturn.
