In the 1930s, a combination of bad weather and Soviet policy under Stalin led to a devastating famine in Ukraine. Several million people died in what became known to Ukrainians as The Holodomor. In 2010, Alan Johnston brought together accounts from a survivor and a journalist who visited Ukraine at the time. (Photo: Ukrainian peasants in Kyiv in 1934. Credit: Getty Images)
