Wait, how far before WW1 are we talking?

The famine was noted, for example, in 1024, 1070, 1092, 1128, 1215, 1230-1231, 1279, 1309 and 1332. Further famine was noted in 1422, 1442, 1512, 1553, 1557 and 1570 years. The reasons were the same as in modern times: drought, excess rain, early frosts, "pruzi" ( locusts ), etc. The XVII century was opened by a terrible famine under Boris Godunov in 1601 and 1602.The famine broke out again in 1608, 1630 and 1636 During the famine in the Nizhny Novgorod province in 1734-1735 peasants fed on rotten oak corn, ate oak acorns, etc. In general, the number of crop failures and famines during the XVII, XVIII and XIX centuries is increasing. In the XVIII century there were 34 crop failures, and during the XIX century only until 1854 there were 35 of them. In 1842, the government stated that the crop failure is repeated every 6-7 years, lasting two years in a row. For the second half of the XIX century, hunger was especially violent, caused by crop failures of 1873, 1880 and 1883. In 1891-1892, 16 provinces of European Russia and Tobol'sk province in Siberia were famished) with a population of 35 million;

All of that until Stalin. After him no more famines

fuck niggers

@Deleted User I agree.

@Firefly#9983 Wait a minute, russia didn't exist in the 9th through 14th centuries, all that existed was the mongol empire, and mouscouvy later on, as well as that, russia didn't formally exist until around the 16th century.

Russia existed before Mongols

It fell apart

No it didn't, it was just a bunch of nomadic slav's.

Most populated agricultural tribe of Europe.

Yhea, a tribe that wasn't russian at all, fell apart, and then was conquered by the mongol's.

It consisted from the same very tribes after. It had same language and culture.

But I agree Russians adopted too many Finns afterwards

@Firefly#9983 No, not the very same tribes, as the previous ones were wiped out by the mongols, infact mouscouvy would not come to power until after the mongolians torched moscow and killed nearly everyone in the surrounding area.

@Deleted User There been a slight 5% to 10% mix in the southern borders of Ukraine indeed. According to genetical studies.

But that not Mongols

That were Tatars

Okay?

All slavic tribes from old Russia are now part of Russia. Except north Ukrainians but that is a matter of time.

Okay?

Speak your autism out.

I don't understand this okay thing

I agreed.

Are Conservatives welcome?

@The Conservative Corner#7529 Fuck off cunt.

Catalonia actually killed many dissenter and was quite oppresive

Ofc the go-to argument is this case is "*that wasnt real anarchism*"

No, it was

But you know.

So what.

They killed priests and capitalists

In a country that for all intents and purpose had been abusing the masses

Through monarchy

A monarchy propped up by, you guessed it,

The church :l

One of these radical changes was the beginning of large-scale murders of people believed to be supporters of the Nationalists. In most cases, these supporters had taken no specific action to assist the Nationalist rebellion; they were singled out for their beliefs, or what people guessed their beliefs were. As Bolloten explains:

"The courts of law were supplanted by revolutionary tribunals, which dispensed justice in their own way. 'Everybody created his own justice and administered it himself,' declared Juan Garcia Oliver, a leading Anarchist who became minister of justice in November 1936. 'Some used to call this "taking a person for a ride," [paseo] but I maintain that it was justice administered directly by the people in the complete absence of regular judicial bodies.'"[7] This distinction no doubt escaped the thousands of people who were murdered because they happened to have political or religious beliefs that the Anarchists did not agree with. "'We do not wish to deny,' avowed Diego Abad de Santillan, a prominent Anarchist in the region of Catalonia, 'that the nineteenth of July brought with it an overflowing of passions and abuses, a natural phenomenon of the transfer of power from the hands of privileged to the hands of the people. It is possible that our victory resulted in the death by violence of ***four or five thousand*** inhabitants of Catalonia who were listed as rightists and were linked to political or ecclesiastical reaction.'"[8] De Santillan's comment typifies the Spanish Anarchists' attitude toward his movement's act of murder of several thousand people for their political views: it is a mere "natural phenomenon," nothing to feel guilty over.

They were at that time with the failure of the colonial empire,

A third world country

Being abused by religious hierarchy
