Remembering Holodomors

In Ukraine and abroad people commemorate Ukrainian victims of Holodomors on the last Saturday of November since 1998 year. Holodomors were the famines in 1921-1923, 1932-1933, 1946-1947, artificially organized by Soviet state power against Ukrainian nation in USSR. There weren't just famines because of bad natural conditions, but there was special organized killing of Ukrainians with the artificial famine. In Holodomors' periods when Ukrainians had no food and wanted to eat, then Soviet state power exported Ukrainian grains and food abroad, leaving Ukrainians to die. The most terrible Holodomor was in autumn 1932-winter 1933, when, according to the diverse informational sources, 7-10 million of Ukrainians died during that Holodomor in USSR.
This year the mournful events were held in Ukrainian cities and in the world in Commemoration Day of Holodomors' victims on November 24th, 2012, and people lit candles in the memory of Holodomors' victims. Remember Ukrainian victims of Holodomors in 1921-1923, 1932-1933 and 1946-1947 years!
