Description
The body of Konstantin Bokan lies in a straw-filled coffin filled with his head leaning on a pillow.

Konstantin died of starvation in June 1933. In the few months prior to his death, he had been working on a collective farm where he was overworked and poorly fed. He had left the family home earlier in the spring of 1933, as his parents were struggling to provide for their large family during the famine. It is unclear whether he was asked to leave or whether he left of his own accord. Konstantin would have been around twenty-two years old at the time of his departure.
