The truth about Holodomor

History is full of good and bad events and records of the activities of people in the fullness of time. There are many things that happened in the past that might happen in the future. Just like this saying goes, “History repeats itself”. I would not want any bad things to happen again in the future especially, the World War or the controversial holodomor.

Well, since I mentioned Holodomor here. Let’s talk about it for the benefit of those who don’t know the exact truth about Holodomor. What is Holodomor? It was a great famine that the people in Russia called it “murder by starvation.” There was a great famine in Soviet Union or Russia in 1932-1933. This is really sad and upsetting. During that time, the Communist authorities of Soviet Union detained the crops and farming or agricultural goods for industrialization and economic transformation. It was a policy premeditated by Joseph Stalin. In other words, the Communists did it for economic reasons. But millions of people famished and suffered to death. That was the result of said economic transformation. This was formerly called Golodomor, which was changed to Holodomor to show it to the people that it was an act of genocide. The European Parliament, discarded the resolution to call this famine as an act of genocide but an unkind treatment and crime committed by Joseph Stalin.
