Hi Steemians,
every day I will try to provide the most important events of the day a hundred years ago.
If I forgot something that should be mentioned, let me know.
Have a great day.
13/05/1918:
- Due to the ever increasing difficulties of grain procurement, the "food dictatorship" is introduced in Russia. The People's Commissariat of Nutrition is provided with special powers against farmers who are unwilling to pay. The coercive measures affect above all the rich peasants, the kulaks, in central Russia and the Volga region..
