Ukrainian Famine
The Ukrainian Famine, also known as the Holodomor, occurred between 1932 and 1933 in Soviet Ukraine. It was a man-made famine caused by the policies of the Soviet government, particularly under Joseph Stalin. These policies included forced collectivization of agriculture, which disrupted food production and led to widespread starvation.
During the famine, millions of Ukrainians died due to hunger and malnutrition. The Soviet regime implemented grain requisition quotas that were impossible to meet, leaving farmers with little to no food. The Holodomor is recognized by many countries as a genocide against the Ukrainian people, reflecting the severe impact of political oppression on their lives.
