Evidence of widespread cannibalism was documented during the famine within Ukraine and Kazakhstan…
Some of the starving in Kazakhstan devolved into cannibalism ranging from eating leftover corpses to the famished actively murdering each other in order to feed. More than 2,500 people were convicted of cannibalism during the famine
An example of a testimony of cannibalism in Ukraine during the famine is as follows: “Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle.
A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was ‘not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you.’ The good people died first.
Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died.
Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did.”
The Soviet regime printed posters declaring: “To eat your own children is a barbarian act.”
