Reviews[]

Taras Kuzio writing for the Europe-Asia Studies in 2018 noted that Applebaum's book follows in the footsteps of Robert Conquest's The Harvest of Sorrow (1986), but benefits from improved access to Soviet archives. Her work is also more up to date, touching upon issues such as post-communist, 21st century Russian disinformation. He notes that the discussion of Holodomor denial and cover-up is the strongest part of her book, and concludes that Red Famine is a "masterful", up-to-dat21st-centurye topic.[1]
