In short:-
"Holodomor is а genocide of Ukrainian nation committed in 1932–1933. It was committed by leadership of the Soviet Union in order to suppress Ukrainians obedient and the ultimate elimination of Ukrainian opposition regime including efforts to build an independent from Moscow Ukrainian State."
Does the above ring any bells with what's happening now???
Basically between 1932-1933 circa at least 3.5 million were staved to death as various factors cause a bad harvest, then Russian Gov policies removed the ability to get high yields, & took what was left for the population of Russia...
Stalin & the Russian Gov denied its existence & basically didn't care what happened to the Ukrainian population..... for many years even the west believed the BS from Russia that it didn't happen...
However the UN stated in 2003 the following:-
In the former Soviet Union millions of men, women and children fell victims to the cruel actions and policies of the totalitarian regime. The Great Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine (Holodomor), took from 7 million to 10 million innocent lives and became a national tragedy for the Ukrainian people. In this regard, we note activities in observance of the seventieth anniversary of this Famine, in particular organized by the Government of Ukraine. Honouring the seventieth anniversary of the Ukrainian tragedy, we also commemorate the memory of millions of Russians, Kazakhs and representatives of other nationalities who died of starvation in the Volga River region, Northern Caucasus, Kazakhstan and in other parts of the former Soviet Union, as a result of civil war and forced collectivisation, leaving deep scars in the consciousness of future generations.
About time the above humanitarian crime (genocide in many peoples views) was studied & made more public considering the current events...
