Paul, let me bring you up to date. Between WWI and WWII, Stalin set out to consolidate his power over the Ukraine. He did it by starvation. He took the whole harvest, mostly wheat, and sold it for cash to build up his military machine. Then he dug up the railroad tracks and set his army around all exits from the Ukraine. There was no food within, and nobody could go out. Over 16,000,000 people starved to death. And Stalin did it on purpose to consolidate his power over them. He figured that a starving man won't be very rebellious, and he was right. Now Stalin didn't do this personally. He delegated it to another man, a Ukrainian named Nikita Kruschev. And ever since, Kruschev has been called "the butcher of the Ukraine." This is the man that President Eisenhower honored by inviting him to visit the United States and receive all the hospitality of the White House. This is the man that Ezra Taft Benson shook hands with. John W.
