Ivaniuk was 9 years old during the Famine. He recalls searches, including that of a neighbor who clearly was not even a “middle peasant” (seredniak.) This same neighbor set off to Myrhorod to trade but did not make it, and his horses returned him home, dead from starvation.
Derkach, born 1902, told him how somewhere on the outskirts of Myrhorod they dug up a man who had been resting by the road when a burial brigade picked him up and buried him alive. People were afraid to speak about the famine for fear of persecution.- Notes
