this Robert Conquest ?


"..In the last few years Conquest has also begun acknowledging to R. W. Davies that the famine of 1932-3 was not intentionally created by the Soviet government and was in fact related to real crop failure. The leading authority on the topic of the 1932 famine is Mark Tauger however. Tauger has done the fullest job of establishing the role of natural disaster, and plant rust in particular, in creating a crop failure which no one understood at the time and so reacted to very badly. But that topic isn't directly a part of this book, which is focused on the purges of 1934-8.
