There were regular famines in that part of the world up until the Soviets ended them.

Turns out history didn't begin in 1917.

And Soviet despotism and mismanagement made them far worse than they were even under the Tsar. Soviet agricultural production lagged behind the West even after the advent of things like chemical fertilizers and powered irrigation eliminated true famines.
