Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin waged a brutal war against the Soviet
peasantry leading to the Holodomor, the terror-famine that killed
at least 4 million Ukrainians during the fall and winter of
1932-33. Red Harvest is based on the tragic events that took place
in Soviet Ukraine and other parts of the Soviet Union from 1929 to
1933. Stalin and the ruling Communist Party began their programme
of forced large-scale collectivization of individual farms and
farmers, including the seizure of livestock, farm implements,
crops, seed stock, and other property. Red Harvest is the fictional
story, based on true stories as related to the Ukranian-Canadian
author, of Mykola Kovalenko, a Ukrainian immigrant to Canada, who
was the only member of his family to have survived the famine.
Through his memories, we witness the horrors of what happened to
his family and fellow villagers as they struggled - not only to
make sense of the war that was being waged against them-but,
ultimately, to survive.
