Russian writers and the Volga famine of 1921

[Helen Halva]

Boris Pil'niak at least worked with an Anti-Hunger agency in Kolomna, 
where he lived, in 1921.  Famine conditions were described in his first 
novel, _Golyi god_, but they were previous to 1921. With more time I may 
be able to identify more of his famine-related activity.
