in Kiev: Monument to victims of Famine in 1933, 1993

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 "Monument to Victims of Famine in 1933" made by the artist Vasyl Yevdokymovych Perevalsky was inaugurated in 1993 and placed in Mykhailivs'ka Square. These photos were taken in April 2019.
