Ganson, Nicholas.

The Soviet famine of 1946-47 in global and historical perspective[electronic resource] /Nicholas Ganson. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xix, 218 p. :ill., map ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [199]-210) and index.

Tracing the roots of the failed 1946 harvest -- Exploring the causesof child mortality -- Food shortages and ration reforms in the towns and cities : Moscow and beyond -- None dare call it resistance? Coping, opposition, and the Soviet state -- The famine, the dawn of the Cold War, and the politics of food -- The Soviet famine of 1946-47 in the context of Russian history -- Placing the famine of 1946-47 in global context.

This book illuminates a little-known but tremendously significant twentieth-century crisis inthe Soviet Union. Drawing on archival materials declassified since the fall of communism, Nicholas Ganson situates the famine of 1946-47 at the crossroads of Soviet social and political history, World War II, the Cold War, ideology, and famine in the modern world. He sheds light on the perspectivesof Soviet elites and gives voice to the famine's victims. In revealing the multi-causality of the postwar hunger, this ambitious work challenges the received wisdom about the relationship between politics and famine.
