  • The Holodomor was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. Under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet government implemented policies that requisitioned grain from Ukrainian peasants, part of a broader effort to collectivize agriculture and fund industrialization. These policies were enforced harshly, with authorities confiscating food supplies and preventing movement of people out of affected areas.
    The result was a devastating famine that led to the deaths of millions of Ukrainians, estimated between 2.4 to 7.5 million people, although exact figures remain debated due to the suppression of information by Soviet authorities at the time. The famine was exacerbated by a series of deliberate actions, including denial of humanitarian aid and the criminalization of the possession of food.
    The Holodomor has been widely recognized as a genocide by several countries and organizations, including Ukraine and many Western governments. The term "Holodomor" itself means "death by hunger" in Ukrainian, reflecting the widespread suffering and mortality caused by the famine. It had profound and lasting effects on Ukrainian society, culture, and politics, fostering a strong sense of national identity and a collective memory of the tragedy.
    The Holodomor remains a sensitive and significant historical event, both in terms of its human toll and its geopolitical implications, contributing to ongoing discussions about totalitarian regimes, human rights abuses, and the ethics of governance and responsibility.

    And some people wonder why Ukraine is so unforgiving and distrusting of what was the USSR and now is Russia.😢

      There were more soviet leaders from Ukraine than Russia or any other part of the Soviet union, as a matter of fact, for 31 out of the 38 years between Stalin's death and the collapse of the Soviet union, the Ukrainians were in charge of the soviet union. But keep drinking the propaganda.

    This explains why the people of Ukraine welcomed the German military during operation Barbarossa in 1941 because in their minds it couldn’t be any worse than the previous decade under soviet control.

    The reason for this famine wasn't ukrainophobia or something about this. The reason was a socialism. And there wasn't any order to start a famine. Stalinist goverment found other ways to destroy Russian villages. Please, do not repeat political propaganda, that has nothing to do with actual history.

      Then explain why the vast majority of the famine happened in areas where Ukrainians and Kazakhs lived.

      There was enough to feed the Ukrainian population, but they preferred to introduce some senseless wuotas. Funnily enough, most of the dead were Ukrainians.

      The difference between Nazi propaganda and Communist propaganda is that Nazi propaganda is truthful by intent, principle, and decree going all the way back to Goebbels' notes on propaganda, whereas Communist ideology is about molding people even if it takes lies to do so.

      @@kenwess3631Yes, because the Nazis definitely existed in 1932. You must feel so proud with your nonsensical conclusion.
