About this ebook
The word Holodomor means the deliberate mass murder by famine from which there is no salvation. Ukrainians use this name when referring to the National Catastrophe of 1932 – 33. We begin with the fact that the Holodomor was one of the most important events not only in Ukraine’s history but also in 20th century world history. Without understanding this, it is difficult to grasp the nature of totalitarianism and the crimes committed by both the Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes. The prehistory of the Holodomor and its effects, as this exhibit shows, cover nearly a century. One starts with examining what Ukraine was like at the beginning of the 20th century some 30 years prior to this tragedy and ends with the discussion of the rebirth of the memory of the Holodomor in present-day Ukraine.

4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Truly a famine created by a perfect storm of events. Everything you read here is not fact. Especially where you can see the Holodomor Famine story was created by the CIA to create hatred against Russians - especially in Ukrainian minds.
Did you know the USA budgets 500 Million per year to pay authors such as this one to write books and articles portraying CIA propaganda as the actual truth?
If you'd like to deep dive into the truth of the perfect storm of events, Scott Ritter has done an excellent compilation of the facts of the famine - search results are blocked in Western countries.

Holodomor – Explanation and Prevention
The word Holodomor means the deliberate mass murder by famine from which there is no salvation. Ukrainians use this name when referring to the National Catastrophe of 1932 – 33.
We begin with the fact that the Holodomor was one of the most important events not only in Ukraine’s history, but also in 20th century world history. Without understanding this, it is difficult to grasp the nature of totalitarianism and the crimes committed by both the Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes.
The prehistory of the Holodomor and its effects, as this exhibit shows, cover nearly a century. One starts with examining what Ukraine was like at the beginning of the 20th century some 30 years prior to this tragedy and ends with the discussion of the rebirth of memory of the Holodomor in present day Ukraine.
It is vital to reveal the story of the Holodomor as even now one cannot be sure that history will not repeat itself. Quite the contrary. There are more and more signs of increasing numbers of genocides occurring in our modern world. Eyewitnesses to the crime of the Holodomor and its history teach us what is worth doing and what is ineffective in preventing genocides and in fighting those who plan and organize them
It is always imperative for us to study the past intensively so that we can immediately recognize the symptoms of evil. Even though evil has different faces, its nature is always the same. The perpetrators of genocide divide societies, sow discord by propaganda, take away human rights wholesale, punish victims with death and later, lying to the whole world, pretend that nothing terrible has happened. The perpetrators of genocides obliterate the nature and mentality of their victims by physical and moral destruction. The foundations of genocide are always hatred and contempt.
These crimes leave deep wounds not only on the body of the nation which has suffered through a genocide, but on all of humanity. In order to heal these wounds, the crime must be called by its proper name, must be talked about openly and the rise of all Stalins and Hitlers must be opposed and combated.
Independent Ukraine
Ukraine is the 2nd largest country in Europe. In the middle of the 19th century, Ukrainian territory covered nearly 700,000 square kilometers with a population of over 30,000,000. Ukraine is rich in fertile black soil and important minerals resources and has a hospitable, wide range of climates, allowing it to grow a variety of crops from grain to grapes. From ancient times travelers called Ukraine the land whose rivers flow with milk and honey.
In the 20th century Ukraine was left without her own independent statehood, her lands divided between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires. Eighty percent of Ukraine’s ethnic territory fell under the control of Russia, which accounted for over 22 million people. Just as in the rest of stateless nations of central and Eastern Europe, 90 % of the Ukrainian population consisted of farmers. They wished to be economically independent and considered their land as their most precious possession. The village remained the center of Ukrainian traditional culture and spirituality, where the Ukrainian language, ancient traditions and holidays were preserved.
Just before the beginning of the First World War, Ukrainian village farmers and wealthy landholders harvested 43% of the world’s barley, 20% of the world’s wheat and 10% of its corn. The export of Ukrainian wheat at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th Centuries played a very important role in the economy of the Russian Empire. During that period Ukraine was considered the breadbasket of Europe.
During the 19th century Ukrainians as well as other European peoples went through the phase of nation building. At the beginning of the 20th Century the political opportunity arose for creating and developing a movement towards Ukrainian independence
The fall of the Russian Empire created that opportunity. In 1917 the Ukrainian revolution exploded. In all the regions of Ukraine, Ukrainians began to create their own state organs and civic institutions. The Ukrainian Central Council was formed as the
