It was imported from soviet Russia during the times of Stalin, when each month a high ranking official was offered to Stalin to be killed by his own hands and a ton of grain so he could quench his hunger for ukrainian grain. During the GPCR, the tradition was modified and no longer included the grain eating part, but instead it was replaced by the communal festival of genociding a million landlords and bury their remains with comically small shovels, as a nod to Stalinβs comically large spoon.
