Historie

The Holodomor, also known as the Terror-Famine (meaning 'to kill through starving' in Ukrainian) or The Great Famine, was a devastating man-made disaster that struck Soviet Ukraine between 1932 and 1933. It resulted in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians, with the word "Holodomor" specifically highlighting the purposeful nature of the famine. The term reflects the severity of the event, suggesting not only a catastrophic food shortage but also a deliberate attempt to destroy the Ukrainian population through starvation. Various factors contributed to the famine's man-made characteristics, including the refusal of Soviet authorities to allow outside aid, the forced confiscation of family food supplies, and the imposition of severe restrictions on population movement.

The Holodomor was part of a larger Soviet famine that affected other grain-producing regions of the USSR in the same period, but Ukraine, as one of the Soviet Union's most important agricultural producers, bore the brunt of the crisis. The famine was not a result of natural disasters but of Stalinist policies, such as forced collectivization, that wreaked havoc on Ukraine's agricultural systems. The Ukrainian people, most of whom were ethnic Ukrainians, faced the unimaginable toll of starvation in what remains one of the most catastrophic peacetime events in Ukrainian history.

Ukraine, along with 15 other countries, officially recognized the Holodomor as a genocide perpetrated by the Soviet regime against the Ukrainian people, a stance that has been supported since 2006. The question of how many people perished remains a subject of debate. A joint declaration made to the United Nations in 2003 suggested that between 7 and 10 million Ukrainians died during the famine. However, current estimates by scholars tend to range from 3.5 to 5 million deaths.
