The UVic Ukrainian Students' Society remembers

Holodomor

1932-1933

Holodomor/ Голодомор

noun: ho·lo·do·mor \ˈhō-lō-dō-ˈmōr
​Тhe term Holodomor (death by hunger, in Ukrainian) refers to the starvation of millions of Ukrainians in 1932–33 as a result of Soviet policies. The Holodomor can be seen as the culmination of an assault by the Communist Party and Soviet state on the Ukrainian peasantry, who resisted Soviet policies.
