Which of these best restates the author's view of the
famine crisis?
The peasants' attitude is utterly bad in light of the famine
and the fact that they are losing their last cows through
collectivization -- as a result the kolkhoznik (collective
farm] has neither bread nor milk. I saw all this with my
own eyes and am not exaggerating. People are starving,
living on food substitutes, they grow weaker, and
naturally, under such circumstances, their mood is
hostile. I have not seen such an attitude as is now found
in the villages, due to famine and the loss of the last cows
... in a long time. ... Upon arriving in Moscow, I will try
to see Stalin and inform him, or if he cannot spare the
time, I will write him a letter [We know that Stalin
sees further than anyone]. But in order for him to see
beyond everyone, one must, with absolute objectivity,
relate to him those facts which are based on reality. I will
attempt to do this upon my arrival in Moscow, and I will
tell him what I have seen with my own eyes.
He thinks the peasants will produce more food,
ending the famine.
He believes that once Stalin learns of the famine,
help will come
He thinks the famine is necessary to unify support
for Communism
He blames Stalin for the famine, and thinks he
should be overthrown.
