Famine.
Sever food shortages occurred because the farmers burnt their crops and grew less food rather than send then to the Communist Officials. The decline in crop production was made worse by natural disasters such as droughts and floods. Sever famines occurred in the Soviet Union. The worst of these famines occurred in the Soviet Republic of Ukraine in 1931. Ukraine was known as the 'bread basket of Russia'. Food from the Ukraine were usually sent to millions of people in other parts of Russia that did not produce enough food. As a result of the famines in Ukraine, other areas in the Soviet Union also suffered food shortages. The USA offered to send food but Stalin rejected the offer. Instead, he suppressed information about the famine. He ordered officials and the secret police to take whatever crops were left. Stalin sold some of the crops to other countries to raise money to buy machines from other countries. It is estimated that more than 10 million peasants and families died in the famine.
