Surzhyk was about 27 at the time of the famine. He asks that a correspondent be sent to him to record more of his memories. He survived three famines: 1921, 1933 and 1947. People were persecuted for stealing so much as a cob of corn or an ear of wheat even in 1947.
He was in danger of being executed in 1937 because he allegedly failed to deliver to the state the prescribed grain quota of 3 kg out of 6 kg of wheat that the collective farm workers were paid per workday.
