Between 15% and 42% of the entire Kazakh population died in this same fell swoop. Essentially, grain silos that the (Ukranian, Russian, Kazakh, [insert peasant population and Republic]) peasants had reserved to feed themselves during a year that had poor crop yields had been previously taken by force to feed people in cities. When the very harsh winter of '32-33 came, that meant death of starvation for all these peasants, of all these nationalities. The breadbaskets of USSR (Ukraine and Kazakhstan) had a particularly high concentration of peasants, and therefore, particularly high death rate.
