Abstract
An original and poorly studied source—documents from district civil registry offices—is analyzed. They convincingly testify to famine in rural areas of Lower Volga and Central Volga krais in the early 1930s and to the fact that it was as intensive in Lower Volga districts as in Ukraine. This source proves that the famine was a common tragedy of the peoples of the Soviet Union. Its use is necessary to supplement and concretize knowledge on the issue under consideration in Russian and foreign historiography.
