Food security and human dignity in the perspective of social change. From the trauma of forced collectivisation to the tragedy of the great famine

The phenomenon of social change often strikes fundamental and inalienable human rights to freedom and security - the source of inherent dignity of a human being. A meaningful and tragic example of the impact of social change on the loss of food security, the implication of which was a disastrous violation of human dignity, was noted in the initial period of the USSR - the first state that initiated social change (agricultural collectivisation), governed by the theories of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. The publication of the once famous joint study entitled The Black Book of Communism revealed and made the nations of Europe and the world aware of the limitless extent of the crime committed in one of the communist countries, which historians refer to as the Great Famine. In this article, that tragic event, unimaginable in its consequences and scale, will constitute a specific basis for the analysis of the dignity of identity in the context of social change resulting in the loss of food security.
