    What is an “unwanted famine”? Nobody wanted a famine. Lysenko was wrong, and the government backed him because they didn’t know he was wrong. It was a mistake, not a deliberate strategem to harm people.

      The British Empire has caused at least two deliberate famines that I can recall off the top of my head - the one in Ireland, and the one in India.
