Russian émigrés were among the best-informed sources on the Famine of 1932–33. The Russian émigré press played a unique role in revealing information about the Soviet Union and specifically in calling attention to the famine. Russian émigrés were in contact with people in their homeland and watched developments there closely; many were highly qualified to provide analysis, including prominent politicians, scholars, and journalists. Living abroad, they were able to take advantage of numerous foreign sources. The Russian émigré discourse viewed Ukraine through an imperial prism and was critical of Ukrainian separatism. At the same time it was quite consistent in exposing the totalitarian nature of the new Soviet state and thus serves as a valuable and reliable source on the Holodomor in Ukraine. The discourse indicates that the famine was unleashed most brutally in Ukraine and in the Kuban region and North Caucasus, territories with large Ukrainian populations. This study also contributes to the general literature on Russian-Ukrainian relations.
