In the 20th century, Ukrainians experienced three famines: 1921-1923, 1932-1933, and the 1946-1947 famine.

The most extensive was the famine of 1932-1933 - it is called the genocide of the Ukrainian people, carried out by the Stalinist regime.

The Holodomor was preceded by the forcible collectivization of agriculture, the "dispossession" of peasants, a grain procurement campaign, /3

and mass terror in the countryside.

Terror by hunger, which operated in Ukraine for 22 months, is a conscious and purposeful policy of the Stalinist government, the strategy and tactics of which have been implemented since 1928. /4

This punitive and repressive action was aimed at the subjugation of the Ukrainian peasantry.

🕯 According to tradition, on this day, Ukrainians light a memorial candle in their homes in honor of those who died from artificial hunger.

Because of Holodomor Ukraine has lost 7 to 10 million people. Whole families were dead. The villages were abandoned. The death was not treated as something unusual
