Facts about the Holodomor, TVP, November 20, 2023

In Stalin's cruel push to enforce collectivism and suppress Ukrainian nationalism, millions of lives were tragically lost in what's been called the Holodomor, the man-made famine which decimated Ukraine between 1932–1933. This brutal campaign orchestrated by the Soviet dictator resulted in the loss of roughly 13% of the Ukrainian population. Presently, initiatives are in motion to garner global support for recognizing this engineered catastrophe as a genocide. To delve deeper into this pivotal issue and why all this matters so much, we were joined by Professor Lubomyr Luciuk from the Royal Military College of Canada.

Про брехню журналістів, яка вбиває. Дюранті і Пулітцерівська премія. About lies of journalists that kill. Duranty and the Pulitzer Prize. Volodymyr Viatrovych. May 31, 2022

9 травня 2022 року Рада найпрестижнішої у світі журналістики премії Пулітцера оголосила про рішення: «Нагородити журналістів України особливою відзнакою за мужність, стійкість і прагнення до правдивого висвітлення під час безжального вторгнення Володимира Путіна в їхню країну і його пропагандистської війни в Росії. Попри бомбардування, викрадення, окупацію і навіть загибель у своїх лавах, вони наполегливо намагаються дати точну картину жахливої реальності, яка робить честь Україні та журналістам усього світу».
Це рішення стало важливою перемогою українських журналістів, які протистоять потужній російській пропагандистській машині, що багато років ширить світом брехню про Україну.
А ще воно засвідчило, як змінився західний світ.
Адже менше як сто років тому в 1932-му ту саму Пулітцерівську премію отримав Волтер Дюранті, журналіст «Нью Йорк Таймс». Він, навпаки, брав активну участь у пропагандистській війні на боці Росії і допомагав Сталіну спотворити «точну картину жахливої реальності».

Uncounted, Since1931. November 23, 2020

In 2017, the Ukrainian Leadership Academy, together with the communication agency Gres Todorchuk PR, created a street restaurant named “Uncounted since 1932". The project is named after the millions of Ukrainians who died during the Holodomor, a man-made famine created by the Soviet government in 1932-1933. The final number of people killed by the Soviet authorities is still unknown. They remained uncounted.
The project was implemented in Israel, Belgium, and Ukraine. Its goal is to spread knowledge about the Holodomor genocide and the crimes against humanity at the hands of the Soviet government. Through the project we aim to raise awareness in other countries and urge them to recognize the Holodomor as genocide.

The Holodomor: Mosaics of History • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, November 10, 2020

In 2020, the Ukraїner team and the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide carried out a joint expedition to search for witnesses of the Holodomor. The team recorded more than 100 interviews and discovered dozens previously unknown mass graves.

The Holodomor in a global context • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, November 9, 2020

The crimes committed against humanity that became known globally certainly influence moral narratives across borders and geographical barriers. They point to the limits of humanism and human decency. This way guiding principles are established in a form of common history from different perspectives and the integrated experience affects everyone involved. The Holodomor genocide is a lesson that Ukraine and the rest of the world are yet to fully fathom and integrate into the local consciousness.

How does the Holodomor influence Ukraine today? • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, November 2, 2020

The Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian nation organised by the Soviet regime had enormous consequences for Ukrainians. However, the scale of the trauma experienced and the changes that it brought can’t be placed in a history textbook and put away into cold storage. The degradation of values and viable demographic changes caused by the genocide, cast grim shadows on the next generations. Nowadays, historians, psychologists, and anthropologists all insist: the consequences of the Holodomor can be still felt in Ukrainian society at various levels. Those consequences manifest themselves primarily in the issues of privacy, security, family customs and attitude towards the concept of private property.

Common Lies about the Holodomor • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, November 1, 2020

In the second part of the explanatory series about the Holodomor, we decided to share the most famous and shocking fake facts about the 1932–1933 genocide in Ukraine. Most likely, you have heard many times that there was no Holodomor at all, or that there was a crop failure, or that there was a famine throughout the USSR, or that it was committed by Ukrainians themselves. In this article, we will refute the most common lies.

What is the Holodomor? • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, October 28, 2020

This publication opens a series of articles that explain the Holodomor topic. First of all, we’ll try to find out what the Holodomor was, and what had preceded this genocide of Ukrainians and one of the biggest crimes against humanity in world history. We’ll also explain why the vital information on the Holodomor tragedy is still concealed and in whose best interest it is to keep it secret.

Голодомор у світовому контексті • Ukraïner • Музей Голодомору, October 28, 2020

An entire hamlet saved during the Holodomor • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, October 24, 2020

When the Holodomor (famine genocide in Ukraine) occured, Tetiana Krotova’s family lived in the hamlet of Shevchenko, situated near Kropyvnytsky city. The head of the local collective farm (“kolhosp”) became a criminal to the Soviet government and secretly gave food to the villagers — the same food that was taken from them and left to rot before. There were no traitors in the village who cooperated with the authorities, so no one died during the Holodomor.

They even took pillows away • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, October 10, 2020

Nadiia Korolova was born in the village of Ivankivtsi in Podillia region. When the Holodomor broke out, she was 10 years old. Podillia was among the first regions to start rioting against mass compulsory collectivisation (making villagers forcefully join collective farms, “kolhosps”) and the closing of churches in 1929. Outraged by the regime’s actions, Ukrainian villagers chased out the local officials and activists from their villages and took control over the district centres. In 1932 the opposition of the rural population reached threatening levels, and the Soviet regime sent military units to suppress the riots. The clashes lasted for days.

Never take what is not yours • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, October 4, 2020

Marfa Kovalenko was six when the Holodomor began. All those terrifying events of the Ukrainian genocide were engraved in her memory, despite her very young age. The family’s only cow was confiscated; they were promised to get a cow back sometime later, but her father made it clear: he would not take any other cow besides his own, not an animal seized from some other family because of him. Thanks to the mutual support in the village, Marfa’s family managed to survive.

They endured on potato peels from Belarus • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, September 26, 2020

When the Holodomor (famine genocide in Ukraine) broke out in the village of Kobylianka, Fedir Zadiereiev’s parents had to travel on foot 100 kilometres to Belarus to bring potato peels from their relatives. Fedir’s grandmother sneaked potatoes in her boots, and Fedir cooked borshch from nettle and plantain leaves for his younger siblings. Thereby they managed to survive. Fedir recalls that prior to collectivisation, people in the village could lend money to each other for as long as half a year, though during the Holodomor he had to steal from his neighbours to survive.

She survived the Holodomor and saved a boy • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, September 19, 2020

When the Holodomor (famine genocide in Ukraine) started, Mariia Hurbich was twelve. Not only did she survive the genocide of the Ukrainian nation together with her family, but she also helped a neighbour boy survive. They met by chance years later. And although what had been happening all over Ukraine in 1932–1933 resembles the time when some regions of the Donbas were captured in 2014 (the Russian occupation in the East of Ukraine — ed.) in that the poorest volunteered or were forced to become “activists” and had to take the last piece of bread from their neighbours, still people such as Mariia were secretly helping each other survive.

What do we know about the Holodomor? • Ukraïner • Museum of the Holodomor, September 8, 2020

Over the past few months, the Ukraїner team, together with the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide, has been exploring various regions of Ukraine in search of witnesses to the genocide of Ukrainian people. There are only a few of them left. In 1932 to 1933, they were just six to 12 years old, but the flashbacks of those times have been engraved in their memories for a lifetime. Such events are hard to forget. During the totalitarian Soviet period, most Holodomor survivors were forced to remain silent about their experiences. We decided to collect their testimonies from all over Ukraine to preserve them and share them with you. During the next two months, we will tell in detail about the crimes of 1932 to 1933 that took the lives of millions of Ukrainians, and we will present to you those who managed to survive and helped others to stay alive.

Mr. Jones: Unmasking the cult of Stalin, Atlantic Council, June 22, 2020

In 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones traveled to the Soviet Union to investigate rumors of events in Ukraine. What he uncovered was an immense man-made famine and one of the greatest crimes of the twentieth century—the Holodomor. Despite millions of deaths, Kremlin propagandists and other Soviet-friendly Western journalists downplayed and denied his reporting. Mr. Jones, a new movie directed by Agnieszka Holland, explores the incredible story of Jones’ struggle to expose the horrors occurring under Joseph Stalin at a time when Western reports were laudatory. The Holodomor stands out as one of the greatest tragedies of the Soviet regime, with Ukraine still fighting for its recognition and understanding of this dark chapter.

Agnieszka Holland, the director of Mr. Jones, and Andrea Chalupa, the writer of Mr. Jones, join Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, historian and author of Red Famine: Stalin’s war on Ukraine to discuss how this movie, and others like it, can serve as a vehicle for exploring and acknowledging histories that have long been downplayed, and the challenges faced by those working to shed light on inconvenient truths.

Cambridge and Gareth Jones: 'Sharing His Story to the World.' Cambridge Ukrainian Studies. January 16, 2020

In 2009, Cambridge Ukrainian Studies hosted an exhibition of the 1933 diaries of Gareth Jones, a Cambridge graduate of the MMLL Faculty who exposed the truth about the Holodomor, Stalin's murderous terror-famine in Soviet Ukraine. Jones is the subject of the 2020 film 'Mr Jones' (directed by Agnieszka Holland).

The exhibition of the diaries at Trinity College's Wren Library garnered widespread international media attention and reintroduced Jones to the world. This video is a compilation of selected media interviews about Jones with Dr Rory Finnin, Founding Director of Cambridge Ukrainian Studies. 'Gareth Jones was a remarkable figure,' Finnin said in 2009. 'We are hoping to raise his profile and share his story with the world.'

In one of the segments, Jones's nephew and our great friend, Nigel Colley, reads selections from the diaries in an excerpt from Serhii Bukovsky's documentary 'The Living', which headlined our Second Annual Cambridge Festival of Ukrainian Film.

Gareth Jones (James Norton, Happy Valley, McMafia) is an ambitious Welsh journalist who gained fame after his report on being the first foreign journalist to fly with Hitler. On leaving a government role, Jones decides to travel to Moscow in an attempt to get an interview with Stalin himself. Hearing murmurs of government-induced famine, Jones travels clandestinely to Ukraine, where he witnesses the atrocities of man-made starvation. Deported back to London, Jones publishes an article revealing the horrors he witnessed but is accused of being a liar by those who have an interest in silencing him. As the death count mounts, Jones has to fight for the truth…

The only surviving copies of the tapes are held in the archives of UCRDC. HREC funded the digitization of these tapes.

The Origins of Mass Killing: the bloodlands hypothesis. Professor Timothy Snyder, January 21, 2014

At no other time in European history were so many human beings deliberately killed as a matter of policy as in Eastern Europe between 1933 and 1945. In the lands between Berlin and Moscow, the Soviets killed more than four million by starvation and bullets, the Germans more than twice that number by starvation, bullets, and gas. Most deliberate Soviet killing, and almost all deliberate Nazi killing, took place in this zone. If we can understand the totality of the catastrophe, we will better understand the two regimes, and we may be better prepared to understand its component parts, the most significant of which was the Holocaust of European Jews.
