Russian writers and the Volga famine of 1921

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

Gorky's response to the Volga famine was to issue an appeal for international help.  Platonov's response was to abandon literature for work in land reclamation.  Khlebnikov wrote a remarkable poem cycle: GOLOD.
	I'd be grateful for references to other responses, by writers, to this famine.
All the best, Robert
