I had learned a lot of thing about the World History in the class in my fourth year in high school, but I could not remember that I had heard things about the mentioned truth about ‘Holodomor of 1932 – 1933’. Accordingly, the subject is unbiased information and facts about the Golodomor in the Soviet Union. The word ‘Golodomor’ means the mass hunger, or the great hunger that caused millions of victims through the Soviet Union in 1932 -1933 wherein scholars had put an estimate of 6 – 8 million peasants death during the famine of the mentioned years. The 2 million deaths were from Central Russia, 1.7 million were from Kazhastan, 1.3 million were from Ukraine and the 1 million were from the North Caucasus.

To give you some background, briefly, the story goes like this: “The Soviet famine of 1932-1933 affected most major grain-producing agricultural areas of the Soviet Union, including Northern Caucasus, Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The Communist governments of the Soviet Republics siezed grains from the peasantry and exported most of their Republic’s agricultural output to the West in order to sustain the rapid economic transformation - “Industrialization” and “Collectivization” - policy designed by Joseph Stalin.”

In regards to the question whether Golodomor is a genocide or not as argued by some Ukrainian politicians, well, even though the word ‘golodomor’ have been transformed into ‘holodomor’ making it looks and sounds like ‘holocaust’, and therefore, could be considered as a genocide, the source said that the EU members did not support it.
