In this episode, we are going to look at the lasting effects of the communist revolution that was started back in the 19th century, actually took physical place with the Russian Communist Revolution leading to humanitarian disasters such as Holodomor and now, we are going to take a look at another event in history that most probably don't know and that has to do with Mao and his communistic regime trying to advance China, causing the Great Famine. This lead to 45 million deaths(most historians agree on this number) and the implications of this really are still being felt today in some ways. You will also learn about the motivations behind the desire to progress China forward, Mao's support for Stalin and Khrushchev and finally failure to admit his error in the projections of production in the project.
