Soviet Famine of 1946–1947

Time: 1940s warning

Place: Soviet Union

Details: The last major famine to hit the USSR began in July 1946, reached its peak in February–August 1947 and then quickly diminished in intensity, although there were still some famine deaths in 1948. The situation spanned most of the grain-producing regions of the country: Ukraine, Moldova and parts of central Russia. The death toll from this famine is estimated to be in the range of 1,000,000–1,500,000.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
