En seulement deux ans, de l’été 1931 à l’été 1933, près de 7 millions de Soviétiques – dans leur immense majorité des paysans – moururent de faim. En cause ? Non pas la guerre, ni la sècheresse, ni les inondations, mais une volonté politique d’une extrême violence : la collectivisation forcée des campagnes mise en œuvre à partir de 1930 par le régime stalinien. Ces famines, qui ont fait quatre fois plus de victimes en deux ans que le Goulag durant un quart de siècle, sont restées l’épisode tabou de l’expérience soviétique, censément porteuse de progrès et de modernité. Nicolas Werth en retrace l’histoire avec précision et intelligence, dressant un état des lieux de la recherche sur un événement central de la mémoire européenne, encore trop méconnu à l’ouest du continent.

In this pioneering study, Ingrid de Zwarte examines the causes and demographic impact of the Dutch 'Hunger Winter' that occurred in the Netherlands during the final months of German occupation in the Second World War. She offers a comprehensive and multifaceted view of the socio-political context in which the famine emerged and considers how the famine was confronted at different societal levels, including the responses by Dutch, German and Allied state institutions, affected households, and local communities. Contrary to highly-politicized assumptions, she argues that the famine resulted from a culmination of multiple transportation and distribution difficulties. Although Allied relief was postponed for many crucial months and official rations fell far below subsistence level, successful community efforts to fight the famine conditions emerged throughout the country. She also explains why German authorities found reasons to cooperate and allow relief for the starving Dutch. With these explorations, The Hunger Winter offers a radically new understanding of the Dutch famine and provides a valuable insight into the strategies and coping mechanisms of a modern society facing catastrop
