Holodomor

The Holodomor (Голодомор: Holodomor; derived from морити голодом, moryty holodom, 'to kill by starvation'), also known as the Terror-Famine or the Great Famine, was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. The Holodomor was part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932–1933 which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country. Since 1998, Ukraine has officially observed a Holodomor Memorial Day on the fourth Saturday of November.
