The Cannibal Island

Join Kelli as she discusses a Stalin Soviet-era plan to deport unwanted citizens and petty criminals to an island in the middle of Siberia - without proper shelter, supplies, or food. It only took a few days before the island's new inhabitants broke down and started to consume the flesh of their fellow prisoners.In this podcast, we review the historical context of 1930s Stalin-era plans to starve the people in the name of progress and communism. Spoiler - it doesn't end well. In addition to discussing the Cannibal Island, more commonly known as Nazino Island, Kelli goes over the basics of the Ukrainian Famine/Holodomor and Stalin's collectivization policies.Intro and Outro music credit: NedricFind him on all streaming services and YouTube, and check out his debut EP, Yello Kake!Sources Referenced:Nicolas Werth - Cannibal Island: Death in a Siberian GulagMusic Credit: Kevin MacLeod - Scheming WeaselSupport the showIntro and Outro music credit: Nedric | Yello KakeFollow me on Instagram for episode updates! @beardhistoryIf you want to support the show, donate to the cause at Buy Me a Coffee
