The report was issued in 1983, Stalin died in 1953. The Ukrainian famine was around 1933. I suspect whoever made the meme is fully aware of these facts.

Here on .ml we prefer alternate facts.

Surely the CIA wouldn't lie about Russia either, that'd be crazy.

If it was a lie, you’d think they could do better than “communists are well fed with healthy whole grains”.

I mean... It worked on you, clearly.

I get that you’re trying to be snarky, but it doesn’t even make sense to me.

Are you trying to say soviet citizens were starving? Or that they had lots of meat fat and sugar?

First one isn’t a flex for anyone. Second is propaganda far beyond what even OP was suggesting.
