Tonight I stumbled upon an online exhibition by Saratov Archives concerning the Volga Famine of 1932-33. While it is naturally in Russian language you can read it using google translator. Here is the link---just plug it into google's translated search.. _http://saratov.rusarchives.ru/gaso.html_ (http://saratov.rusarchives.ru/gaso.html) Scroll down to the exhibit titled "Hunger, which was not"...a poor translation, but probably should be something along the lines of "The Unnecessary Famine" given the subsequent description that it was indeed a governmentally induced catastrophe. Finally, click on "Exhibition" which has blue colored letters. At that point you will see many images of declassified documents from the Saratov City Council and Lower Volga Executive Committee pertaining to the famine...lack of food, bread distribution cards, collective farm problems, crime, cannibalism, lack of pay for workers, death reports, etc. There is a synopsis for each image. I didn't find any mention of Volga Germans per se, but of course these reports add context to what we do know about the famine. I assume the exhibits change periodically so save the link and check back again. Tim Weeder VC Paulskoye
