Stalin’s creation of a five The peasants' attitude is utterly bad in light of the famine and the fact that they are losing their last cows through collectivization -- as a result the kolkhoznik [collective farm] has neither bread nor milk. I saw all this with my own eyes and am not exaggerating. People are starving, living on food substitutes, they grow weaker, and naturally, under such circumstances, their mood is hostile. I have not seen such an attitude as is now found in the villages, due to famine and the loss of the last cows . . . in a long time. . . . Upon arriving in Moscow, I will try to see Stalin and inform him, or if he cannot spare the time, I will write him a letter. . . . [We know that Stalin sees further than anyone]. But in order for him to see beyond everyone, one must, with absolute objectivity, relate to him those facts which are based on reality. I will attempt to do this upon my arrival in Moscow, and I will tell him what I have seen with my own eyes. Which of these best restates the author’s view of the famine crisis?-year plan represented what type of change?
