On 23 November, Ukrainians around the world will commemorate the 91st anniversary of the Ukrainian Great Famine – the Holodomor (death by hunger) – a deliberate, man-made famine orchestrated by the Soviet dictator Stalin, which caused the death of millions of Ukrainians in 1932-33.
We will remind the world of the horrific genocide committed by Stalin and the Soviet regime against the Ukrainian people 91 years ago, just as today the dictator Putin and the Russian regime continues to perpetrate genocide on Ukrainian soil.
