last night, i found myself reading about Holodomor ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor ) which was basically a terrible famine that hit Soviet Ukraine in the years of 1932-33. Ukraine had a good harvest in '32, but Soviet policies prevented them from eating them. which then lead into the famine known as Holodomor, where millions of Ukrainians died of hunger.
also, Голодомор is Ukrainian for "death by starvation."
and yeah, i named Ukraine "Anastasiya." i just pulled up behindthename.com and picked out a name i really liked. she was going to be Nataliya, but i thought that it was too similar to "Natasha." :P
enjoy~Ivan told her not to touch the crops. Ivan told her not to touch the crops. Ivan told her not to the touch the crops

This.
Is lovely.
"She doesn't sit and cry, because she's a Nation. Nations don't sit and cry for their people, they go and help them." Perfect line. Out of all the fills for this prompt, that line is one of my favorites of all, and when I read it I felt such a rush of love for Ukraine that I nearly teared up. What a strong character she is.
This is a one-shot, but I dearly wish it wasn't; this Ukraine is something we could use more of!
