was the Russian Famine of 1921-22. The photograph images of the time are shocking, beware.

The famine came at the end of six and a half years of unrest and violence (first World War I, then the two Russian revolutions of 1917, then the Russian Civil War). Many different political and military factions were involved in those events, and most of them have been accused by their enemies of having contributed to, or even bearing sole responsibility for, the famine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_famine_of_1921%E2%80%9322
