The 1933 Ukrainian famine killed as many as 2.6 million people out of a population of 32 million. Historians offer three main explanations: weather, economic policies, genocide. This paper documents that (1) available data do not support weather as the main explanation: 1931 and 1932 weather predicts harvest roughly equal to the 1924–1929 average; weather explains up to 8.1 percent of excess deaths. (2) Policies (collectivization of agriculture and the lack of favored industries) significantly increased famine mortality; collectivization explains up to 52 percent of excess deaths. (3) There is some evidence that ethnic Ukrainians and Germans were discriminated against.
Chinese Australians are from a variety of backgrounds, Southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan for instance. Most Chinese Australians of Southeast Asian migrant backgrounds are politically inactive regarding the PRC, but do take the opportunity of China's economic take off to expand their business. Migrants from Guangdong and Hong Kong used to be the most numerous in Australia since the middle 19th century and they were also the ones that kept the Chinese cultural tradition going in Australia (Petty 2009), symbolized by the iconic China towns built by them in most capital cities. More of contemporary migrants of Chinese ethnicity are from mainland China, such as a large number of students of English from the PRC who were able to stay and then to obtain residents status subsequent to the 1989Tiananmen events during which the then Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke appeared tearfully on TV announcing the extension of visas (Fang and Weedon 2020). This source of migration continued, including immediate families of the students of English before the Tiananmen events (Liu Xi'an and Gao 1998), business and investment migrants and skilled migrants from the PRC.
Soviet Russia from the very first days of the conquest of Georgia began to completely control the country. The goal of the occupiers was to eradicate elements of the country's democratic rule, suppress the centers of anti-Russian and anti-Soviet propaganda, destroy the desire of the people of Georgia to restore independence and introduce Soviet ideology. This applied to all areas of activity. On the part of the Soviet government, special attention was paid to the church and church officials
The rise of populism in the twenty-first century has been marked by the use of religion and national identity as emotive mobilizing forces to increase in-group solidarity and demarcate the notional boundaries of communities. The process often leads to the exclusion of vulnerable ethnoreligious minorities and to increased violence against them. This article analyses the role of fear as a principal emotion in the context of ethnoreligious conflict with reference to the Rohingya conflict in Myanmar. The article is divided in three parts. Part one explores notions of collective fear with reference to religious and ethnic conflict. Part two illustrates how collective existential fear has fuelled populist religious infused responses to the Rohignya conflict leading to the latest mass exodus of 2017. The final part considers whether fear can be an instrument of construction rather than destruction, to help build bridges than destroy, to connect people than isolate them.
