1930 - The London Times:
“Two Russias”

•“…foreign delegations [are] blissfully ignorant of the hunger, discontent, opposition, and hatred.” •“…Donetz Basin [in Ukraine], where there has been a serious breakdown in food supplies.” •A miner expressed …“Everybody is going away from the Donetz Basin, because there is no food here.  There is nothing in Russia.  The situation is terrible.” •“The present food shortage was attributed by most Russians to two causes – the agricultural revolution begun last year and the absence of a free market...  “It is all the fault of this collectivisation, which the peasants hate.  There is no meat, nothing at all.”
