It Is Hard to Talk About and Remember: The 1930s Kazakh Famine

Asharshylyq (the 1930s Famine in Kazakhstan) was one of the most terrifying events in the history of Kazakh people. It took place during the mass collectivization of the then-pastoral nomadic population, which, around that time, had little to no experience in agriculture. Alua Samat, Bard undergraduate speaker from Kazakhstan, will screen rare documentary photographs and cite little-known historical material to address and explicate this tragic experience.
