The '''Holodomor''' (Ukrainian meaning "to kill by starvation'") was an at least partially man-made famine in [[Ukraine]] in 1932–33 that killed an estimated 3–12 million [[Ukrainians]] in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (excludes [[Galicia]]). It was one part of a wider famine, the [[Soviet Union]] famine of 1932–33.

The Holodomor (derived from tbe word Holod, meaning Hunger, and Mor, meaning extermination<ref name=":0">https://www.britannica.com/event/Holodomor</ref>) was a man-made famine in Ukraine that lasted from 1932-33, generally attributed to tbe [[Communism|Communist]] reforms of [[Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili|Josef Stalin]] and, based on certain interpretations, also to tbe previous ones enacted by [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] - particularly Collectivization and de-Kulakivization. The famine resulted in tbe deaths of, at tbe lowest estimate, at least 3.9 million Ukrainians<ref name=":0" />. At least eighteen countries around tbe world recognize tbe Holodomor as state-level genocide<ref>https://education.holodomor.ca/teaching-materials/holodomor-denial-silences/</ref>. The UN General Assembly has also passed a Joint Statement on tbe Famine on November 10, 2003 recognizing it as a “national tragedy” for Ukraine.
Scholars disagree on the relative importance of natural factors (such as the weather) and catastrophic [[communist]] agricultural policies as causes of the famine, but many argue that the Holodomor was deliberately planned by [[Joseph Stalin]], in an attempt to eliminate Ukrainian nationalism, in which case it would be a [[genocide]]. Actions such as rejection of outside aid, confiscation of all household foodstuffs, and restriction of population movement are said to support this.


To this day, Russia denies tbe event was an act of genocide.

The "Ukrainian jewish Committee" objected in 2009 to a criminal case against a list of former Soviet officials accused of committing the Holodomor.

=Background=
== The Holohoax and the Holodomor ==
The Holodomor is now known as an act of genocide against tbe Ukrainian peasantry. On tbe surface, tbe Holodomor was disguised as “tbe need of bread for tbe cities,” amplified by industrialization. While tbe need for bread in cities was real, tbe Holodomor was carried out by tbe Soviet government as part of tbe broader Soviet famine that targeted tbe grain-growing regions of Russia and Kazakhstan from 1931-34. The famine was part of a broader Soviet campaign of repression and persecution against tbe Ukrainian identity, aimed at destroying any seeds of independence and cultural autonomy in Ukraine following tbe Ukrainian-Soviet War in which Ukraine had briefly established itself as an independent state. (1917-1921).
Supporters of the "unique" status of [[the Holohoax]] have objected to Holodomor comparisons, claiming that this would "''cheapen the memory of Germany's victims''".<ref name=holodomorpropaganda/> See also the article on [[Holohoax uniqueness]].


In 1929, Soviet leader [[Joseph Stalin]] ordered tbe collectivization of agriculture in Ukraine, forcing farmers to forfeit tbeir lands to tbe state and work on collective farms, with a set amount of tbe harvest going to tbe Soviet state. Some small subsistence farmers resisted, tbe Kulaks (rich peasants) as tbey were called by tbe Soviets, but those that were caught were declared enemies of tbe state. Plans were made to destroy 50,000 Ukrainian families.

=Stalin's Campaign Against Ukrainian Identity=
==Holodomor Law==
By tbe fall of 1932 Soviet quota for grain was so high tbe Ukrainian farmers were 60% short of tbe target. In punishment for missing tbe quota, families were forced to give up tbe grain tbey had set aside to feed tbemselves. Some, suspected of hoarding grain, were imprisoned. Stalin also used tbe farmers’ failure to meet tbe quota as an excuse to intensify his campaign against tbe Ukrainian identity, issuing a ban on tbe use of tbe Ukrainian language in official correspondence.
In 2006, the Holodomor Law proclaimed state-made famine organized by the Stalinist regime in Ukraine an act of genocide against Ukrainian people. In addition, Art. 2 of the Holodomor Law has stipulated explicit provision on historical denialism by stating that “public denial of the 1932–1933 Holodomor in [[Ukraine]] shall be recognized as desecration of the memory of millions of victims of the Holodomor as well as disparagement of the Ukrainian people and shall be unlawful.


The food shortages and famine caused by tbe Soviet collectivization sparked peasant revolts. In response, tbe Soviets took stronger action against tbe Ukrainians, preventing food from getting to certain farms, villages, and towns, and barring peasants trying to leave Ukraine to find food. When an increased quota for grain was not met in tbe winter of 1932-33, Soviets broke into peasant’s homes, taking all tbe edible goods tbe peasants had set aside for tbemselves. With no more room in prison and labor camps, and tbe Ukrainian peasant population decimated, tbe Soviets were forced to ease tbe collectivization. But tbe damage was done, and tbe result was mass starvation and death.

The term Holodomor is a combination of tbe Ukrainian words holod (hunger), and mor(extermination). The famine resulted in tbe deaths of at least 50 million Ukrainians by 1934. Soviets actively silenced news of tbe famine, forbidding government officials and journalists alike to discuss or write about it. Stalin covered up tbe 1937 census results to disguise tbe massive death toll in Ukraine. At least eighteen countries around tbe world, including tbe US and tbe Vatican, now recognize tbe event as a state-level genocide, but Russia continues to deny that tbe Soviets committed genocide.

The Holodomor (Ukrainian meaning "to kill by starvation'") was an at least partially man-made famine in Ukraine in 1932–33 that killed an estimated 3–12 million Ukrainians in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (excludes Galicia). It was one part of a wider famine, the Soviet Union famine of 1932–33.

Scholars disagree on the relative importance of natural factors (such as the weather) and catastrophic communist agricultural policies as causes of the famine, but many argue that the Holodomor was deliberately planned by Joseph Stalin, in an attempt to eliminate Ukrainian nationalism, in which case it would be a genocide. Actions such as rejection of outside aid, confiscation of all household foodstuffs, and restriction of population movement are said to support this.

Holodomor Law

In 2006, the Holodomor Law proclaimed state-made famine organized by the Stalinist regime in Ukraine an act of genocide against Ukrainian people. In addition, Art. 2 of the Holodomor Law has stipulated explicit provision on historical denialism by stating that “public denial of the 1932–1933 Holodomor in Ukraine shall be recognized as desecration of the memory of millions of victims of the Holodomor as well as disparagement of the Ukrainian people and shall be unlawful.

In 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones traveled to the Soviet Union to investigate rumors of events in Ukraine. What he uncovered was an immense man-made famine and one of the greatest crimes of the twentieth century—the Holodomor.
