Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine — When Starvation Became State Design
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Anne Applebaum
This episode explores Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine by Anne Applebaum as a systems-level analysis of how state-controlled starvation influenced behavior, belief, national identity, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, imperial, and cultural structures.
