tl,dr:
Along with human flesh, cannibals had feasted upon the brains of their victims.

#5I have a hard time taking this seriously when whoever wrote the abstract doesn't seem to be aware that the Soviet Union was founded in December 1922. Basic historical errors in the abstract make the paywall less appealing, and it's unfortunate if a lot of work went into the actual article.

The food aid came later. Eventually it stopped, once the US realized that the Bolsheviks were simultaneously seizing grain from peasants to sell on the international market. (A trick they repeated in the 1930s, to pay for rapid industrialization, at the cost of ~5 million dead peasants.)

I don’t remember the author talking about the soviet union existing before 1922, he does talks about soviets (assemblies).
