The restoration of the lost layer of national memory became part of decolonization in Ukraine, the process of getting rid of the Russian imperial heritage that began after the collapse of the USSR.

The Ukrainian people had to go through three famines - in 1921-1923, 1932-1933 and in 1946-1947. The largest of them is the Holodomor of 1932-1933. The first legal act in Ukraine to recognize it as an act of genocide was the 2006 law "On the Holodomor of 1932–1933
