The HORRIFYING Fate of a Russian Famine Survivor

Get early episodes & ad-free audio on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorian Tonight, we descend into the famine-ravaged Russian countryside, where fertile black soil once promised life but delivered only silence and death. Through the eyes of a peasant family, you’ll walk the frozen lanes, hear the creak of death carts, smell the bitter smoke of bark and weeds boiling in empty pots, and feel hunger hollow you from the inside out. This is not the story of kings or generals, but of ordinary people erased by famine—lives reduced to numbers in a ledger, voices lost to silence, and graves left unmarked. 🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep Tools Looking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
