This research focuses on a little known incident of Stalinist mass violence, the Kazakh famine of 1930-33. More than 1.5 million people, a quarter of Kazakhstan’s population, perished in this disaster, dramatically altering the demographic and environmental profile of the surrounding region. This research seeks to understand the causes and consequences of this terrible disaster, one which has important implications for our understanding of violence under Stalin, Soviet nationalities policy, genocide studies, and Kazakh society today.
