Ukraine Independence - Holodomor

At the entrance to the memorial park in Kyiv, there is a sculpture of an extremely thin girl with a very sad look holding a handful of wheat ears in her hands. This is a monument that commemorates a historical event known as the Holodomor.

What is the Holodomor? After the end of the First World War, Ukraine was an independent state, but in 1919 the Soviet Union "sucked" it into the community of Soviet states.

The Ukrainians, who considered themselves Central European people like the Poles and not Eastern European like the Russians, tried to restore Ukraine's independence.

In 1932, not wanting to lose control of Europe's main granary, Stalin resorted to one of the most heinous forms of terror against one nation. In the process of nationalization, he took away the grain-producing land from the Ukrainian peasants, but also all its offerings, thus creating an artificial famine. The goal was to "teach Ukrainians to be smart" so that they would no longer oppose official Moscow.

Hence the people who produced the most grain in Europe were left without a crumb of bread. The peak of the Holodomor was in the spring of 1933. Stalin's induced famine killed17 people PER MINUTE in Ukraine. almost 24,500 every day!

People were starving to death in the streets. Stalin settled Russian populations in the emptied Ukrainian villages. During the next census, there was a large shortage of population. Therefore, the Soviet government annulled the census, destroyed the census documents, and the statisticians were shot or sent to the gulag, in order to completely hide the truth.

Today, 28 countries around the world have officially acknowledged this Holodomor period as a Russian genocide against Ukrainians.

The Holodomor at that time broke the Ukrainian resistance, but it made the desire for Ukraine's independence from Russia eternal.
