The Holodomor
← All projects
In 2005, the Ucrainica Research Institute was the lead initiator of the first English-language comprehensive exhibit “Holodomor: Genocide by Famine” on the man-made famine in 1932-33 in Ukraine. It provided its research resources as well as financial assistance.
Ucrainica's Holodomor education program comprehensively covers the following key aspects of this crime against humanity: communism and the national question in Ukraine; collectivization, destruction of Ukrainian farmers and its consequences; resistance to collectivization and Soviet rule; why, how and by whom the Holodomor was organized; Holodomor losses; testimonies of eyewitnesses and survivors; cover-up and denial of the Holodomor; protests and attempts at relief; the issue of worldwide awareness of the Holodomor; Holodomor recognition and its legal assessment as a crime of genocide; and, resources on the Holodomor. This education program includes documentary publications, articles and films on the Holodomor.
The study of the Holodomor in the wider context of Moscow-centered imperialism is indeed an unavoidable development as a legitimate field of scholarly research. Hence, the political dimension of the Holodomor, which unmistakably points to the proverbial "smoking gun" of this genocidal crime against the Ukrainian people.
With the publication in 2021 of the second revised and expanded edition of the documentary book "Holodomor: The Ukrainian Genocide, 1932-1933", the current phase of this massive 15 - year long undertaking has been completed. However, Ucrainica's study of the Holodomor will continue as more relevant archives are becoming accessible to researchers.
