Russian Famine of 1601-03

Years: 1601 - 1603

One of the worst famines in all of Russian history kills as many as 100,000 in Moscow and up to one-third of Tsar Godunov's subjects; the same famine kills about half Estonian population.

“What experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history."

―Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Lectures (1803)
