Remember Holodomor

On November 26th, 2011 Ukraine and Ukrainian diaspora in the world commemorated 79-th anniversary of Holodomor of 1932-1933 years. Holodomor was man-made famine and genocide and was organized by Joseph Stalin against Ukrainians, lived in USSR, on the modern territories of North, East, Central and South Ukraine (except Crimea and a part of Odesa region). The majority of Ukrainians lived in the villages, because their main occupation was agriculture. And Ukrainians were always very freedom-loved people and that's why J. Stalin decided to destroy Ukrainian nation and to create dictatorship in Soviet Union. In later autumn of 1932 Soviet regime began to take off all grain, any food, domestic animals in Ukrainian peasants to have harvest for Soviet Union, as chieves of that cruel state said. But indeed J. Stalin and his fellows specially killed Ukrainians, taking off their food and leaving them to die in the wintry time. Then special detachments were organized to go in the villages and to take off all possible provision, which was transpoted to direct places, guarded by policemen. These detachments searched in every corner of the rural houses, looking for a food. And even hungry people searched the rests of the vegetabgles on their fields in winter, these Soviet regime's workers killed that poor hungry people. And Ukrainian peasants died from famine...In the end of 1932 - on the beginning of 1933 Ukrainians gathered plants to cook some soup, ate birds, cats and everything that could be eaten, and it's terrible, but they sometimes ate their relatives, because it was horrible famine! The winter of 1933 was the cruelest period for Ukrainian peasants. In general Holodomor of 1932-1933 killed 3 millions 941 thousands people and 6 millions 122 thousands unborn babies in Ukraine.
24 countries have already recognized Holodomor as genocide against Ukrainians, organized by J. Stalin. Ukraine commemorates the victims of Holodomor'32-33 on the lasr Saturday of November.

What will be the points of Association Agreement EU-Ukraine?

The majority of Ukrainian politicians says much about a necessity of Association Agreement EU-Ukraine and nothing about points of the future Association Agreement (AA). So it's very strange situation for Ukrainians, when politicians want to sign important deal between Ukraine and EU, but Ukraine's citizens don't know the points of this deal.
Ukrainian people mostly have positive attitude towards European Union, and they have a right to know what will be written in the points of AA between two sides. And now they don't know it! It's something impossible! What will be written in the first point, in the second, in the third, in all points of Association Agreement EU-Ukraine? Politicians can't sign such and similar significant state deals, when nation isn't informed about deal's details.
