This project aims to increase our understanding of the relationship between drought and famine by analysing the most recent, though least understood famine in Soviet and Modern European History. This famine followed a massive drought in the summer of 1946 across the western Soviet Union and led to the deaths of at least one million people. This research is timely given the growing threats to food security, markets and trade posed by the increasing incidence of severe and enduring drought in Australia and globally. The expected outcome of this research is to produce new historical knowledge with contemporary application to better inform policy approaches with the expected benefit of reducing the threat of food crises emerging from drought.

该项目旨在通过分析苏联和现代欧洲历史上最近但最不为人所知的饥荒，增进我们对干旱和饥荒之间关系的理解。这场饥荒是在 1946 年夏天苏联西部发生大规模干旱之后发生的，导致至少一百万人死亡。鉴于澳大利亚和全球严重持久干旱的发生率不断增加，对粮食安全、市场和贸易构成的威胁日益严重，这项研究是及时的。这项研究的预期成果是产生新的历史知识并在当代应用，以更好地为政策方法提供信息，从而达到减少干旱引起的粮食危机威胁的预期效益。
