in Kiev: Holodomor victims Memorial, 2008
According to the official website of the Ukrainian Museum “The horrific event, known in Ukrainian as the Holodomor (literally, murder by starvation), took place in 1932-1933, less than twenty years after Ukraine was forcibly incorporated into the Soviet Union. Determined to force all Ukrainian farmers onto collective farms, to crush the burgeoning national revival, and to forestall any calls for Ukraine's independence, the brutal Communist regime of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin embarked on a campaign to starve the Ukrainian people into submission."The National Museum "Holodomor victims Memorial" is Ukraine’s national museum and a world-class centre devoted to the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-22 . The museum was opened on the day of the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor in 2008. These photos were taken in April 2019 and show some views of the memorial complex.
