Marfa Ridko's mother was a Stakhanovite worker. Despite this, two of her children, Marfa's sisters, died in a special nursery for the children of Stakhanovite workers and Marfa's mother was on the verge of death of starvation herself.
Marfa blames Stalin, Kaganovich, and the local activists's heartlessness and cruelty for the deaths of the locals from starvation. She believes that in the villages where good people were in charge, chances of survival were better.
She also mentions that in 1934 the residents of the village of Myhalky in Makariv raion in Kyiv oblast (now Bucha raion, Kyiv oblast) were relocated into their village. - Notes
