Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The most recent famine in Soviet and European History killed at least one million people in 1946-47, mostly in Ukraine and Moldova. However, we know much less about this famine than others in Soviet history. The Soviet state repressed news of the 1946/47 famine at the time. English-language scholarship on the family is small and the topic is much less addressed in the Russian and Ukrainian scholarship compared to the Holodomor of 1932/33.
In this lecture we draw on recently declassified Soviet sources to illustrate the interaction of numerous factors in understanding famine causation, duration, mortality and contextualise it in broader Soviet and world history to understand its broader significance and enduring consequences.
Registration only necessary for online attendees.
