@hydra lee Censuses:
In late 1932 - precisely when the famine struck - the Central Statistical Bureau in Moscow ceased to publish demographic data.
On Stalin's orders, those who conducted the 1937 census, which revealed a sharp decrease in the Ukrainian population as a result of the Holodomor, were shot, while the census results were suppressed.
Harvest figures:
The 1931 harvest was 18.3 million tons of grain;
The 1932 harvest was 14.6 million tons of grain;
The 1933 harvest was 22.3 million tons of grain;
The Soviet regime dumped 1.7 million tons of grain on the Western markets at the height of the Holodomor.
