Letter describes events in 1932-1933 in: Khrinivka, Kopaihorod raion, Vinnytsia oblast
Current location name: Pryvitne, Murovani Kurylivtsi raison, Vinnytsia oblast
Lysovsky shares how excessive taxation led to people being dekurkulized and dispossessed. Relatives were threatened with retaliation if they took in those who lost their homes. Search brigades kept taking away all food. Those who did not want to join collective farms were dekurkulized and deported to Siberia in 1931. Some people were sentenced to prison terms for stealing a single ear of wheat. In response to a letter by someone called Stakhova, probably published in Silski Visti, she argues that people branded as “kulaks” were actually hard working people whose loss was a detrimental to agriculture. Mentions an instance of cannibalism.
