What is The Holodomor Ukraine 1932.
Nov 3, 2023
Holodomor was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine between 1932 and 1933. The word "Holodomor" comes from two Ukrainian words, "holod," meaning "hunger," and "mor," meaning "plague," and it is also referred to as the Ukrainian Genocide or the Great Famine.
The Holodomor was caused by Soviet policies that aimed to collectivize agriculture and eliminate the private ownership of land. The Soviet government requisitioned grain and other foodstuffs from Ukrainian peasants and shipped it to other parts of the Soviet Union, leaving the Ukrainian population without enough food to survive. The government also enforced strict grain quotas and prevented the population from leaving affected areas in search of food.
As a result, millions of Ukrainians died of starvation, and the exact number of victims is still a matter of debate among scholars. Estimates range from 2.4 million to 10 million people. The Holodomor was not recognized as a genocide until 2006, when the Ukrainian parliament passed a law recognizing it as such.
