Stalin denied the existence of famine in order to protect his image and maintain control over the Soviet Union. Acknowledging the famine would have meant acknowledging the failure of his policies, particularly the collectivization of agriculture, and could have led to widespread discontent and unrest. Denying the famine allowed him to maintain the narrative that his policies were successful and that the Soviet Union was thriving under his leadership.
