If it's the famine in Ukraine [1] that you are talking about, absolutely. But, are you saying that it was done as part of industrialization? My great grandfather was one of the peasants you describe (his land was taken away). Although the state use of land was inefficient, it was not the continual famine that you imply. Food shortages occurred, but, they occurred under the Tsars as well. The industrialization that occurred pre and post WWII in the USSR seems pretty undeniable though.
