HOLODOMOR (Manmade Famine). Ukraine, 1932-1933  

Under the grip of the Stalinist regime, a staggering toll of 3 to 8 million lives was claimed across the regions of Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Innocent peasants, viewed as a threat to the Soviet government, were ruthlessly subjected to a deliberate and agonizing demise.

1932 witnessed a harrowing assault on the peasantry. The infamous “Law on Five Spikelets” was enacted, forbidding even the slightest collection of wheat from collective farms and imposing the death penalty with asset confiscation for any such violation.

Holodomor’s terror continues to grip modern consciousness, tearing at the soul. Countless destinies were obliterated by hunger, transforming a once-prosperous land into a sprawling mass grave, soaked in blood and anguish.

Millions of children perished before their anguished parents, while thousands met their fate for daring to seek survival. This haunting memory lives on in the hearts of Ukrainians, who still hold dear the bread made from those very “Five spikelets” harvested from the countless lives lost to starvation.

In 2006, this dark chapter in history was officially recognized as the genocide of the Ukrainian people, an unspeakable crime perpetuated by the godless ideologies of Bolshevism and Stalinism.

Today, we raise our voices to the world, denouncing the architects of this brutal massacre, ensuring such horrors never stain our soil again. May the souls of the 1932-1933 Genocide victims rest in eternal peace and memory.
