DESCRIPTION:Ukraine in the early 1930s presented multiple challenges to Bo
 lshevik authority. Peasant resistance to collectivization and failed Sovie
 t agricultural policy precipitated rural unrest and a famine\, which neces
 sitated swift repressive action on the part of the GPU\, the Soviet securi
 ty apparatus. GPU explanations of rural resistance often took an ideologic
 al color\, revealing the Bolsheviks' obsession with foreign intervention\,
  Ukrainian\, and class warfare. The Ukrainian famine of 1932 and 1933 rema
 ins a hotly contested political issue between contemporary Ukraine and Rus
 sian.
