"Under the Sign of Scorpion" by Juri - Gnostic Liberation Front

Kaganovich and his cronies brought about this genocide by the intro-
duction of confiscatory taxation on those peasants who remained after the
extermination of the "kulaks". Meanwhile, he sent out new gangs of fana-
tical activists who commanded enforcement patrols, especially in the
Ukraine, where the borders to the other Soviet republics had been closed
off. The political activists took away every grain of corn and every egg,
every vegetable and every fruit of the farms' produce. Convoys of trucks
carried all the food away. Each piece of bread, which should have been
brought to the starving, was confiscated at the border. Every Ukrainian,
who might be suspected of the least, often invented, attempt at lessening
the full impact of the famine or of hiding foodstuffs from the authorities,
was shot or sent to the labour camps. (Robert Conquest, "The Harvest of
Sorrow: Soviet Collektivization and the Terror-Famine", Alberta, 1986.)
Each morning, wagons drove about to collect the dead in the Ukraine
and southern Russia. Bodies lined the roads in Central Asia too. Canni-
balism became increasingly common in the Ukraine in 1934. Several
sources show that the famine even brought forth actual slaughterhouses
for orphaned children, whose meat was later sold.
