The Ukrainian Revolution Part II | Lenin, Stalin, and the Seeds of the Holodomor | Ancient to Recent | Episode 21

In the aftermath of revolution, Ukraine lies in ruins. The Bolsheviks have won the Civil War but for Lenin, victory is not enough. From the brutal terror of the Cheka to forced grain seizures and man-made famine, Ukraine becomes the testing ground for a new kind of tyranny.

As millions starve and resistance is crushed, a new figure rises from the shadows: Joseph Stalin. His plan for collectivization will turn Lenin’s famine into something far darker, the Holodomor.

Join Joseph Parkinson as he continues the story of Ukraine’s struggle for survival under Lenin and Stalin, the birth of Soviet power, and the seeds of one of history’s greatest tragedies.
