Transcript: Holodomor Genocide Jadyn Gibson & Dante Montaque In June of 1933, at the height of the Holodomor, 28,000 men, women and children in Ukraine were dying of starvation each day. The land that was known worldwide as the breadbasket of Europe was being ravaged by a man-made famine of unprecedented scale. History While millions of people in Ukraine and in the mostly ethnically Ukrainian areas of the northern Caucasus were dying, the Soviet Union was denying the famine and exporting enough grain from Ukraine to have fed the entire population. For 50 years, surviving generations were forbidden to speak of it, until the Soviet Union was near collapse. Affect Holodomor refers to the brutal artificial famine imposed by Stalin’s regime on Soviet Ukraine and primarily ethnically Ukrainian areas in the Northern Caucasus in 1932-33.. During the Holodomor, millions of inhabitants of Ukraine, the majority of whom were ethnic Ukrainians, died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine. death toll death toll The Ukrainian famine—known as the Holodomor, a combination of the Ukrainian words for “starvation” and “to inflict death”—by one estimate claimed the lives of 3.9 million people, about 13 percent of the population. And, unlike other famines in history caused by blight or drought, this was caused when a dictator wanted both to replace Ukraine’s small farms with state-run collectives and punish independence-minded Ukrainians who posed a threat to his totalitarian authority. PICTURES PICTURES Aftermath Denial of the famine by Soviet authorities was echoed at the time of the famine by some prominent Western journalists, like Walter Duranty. The Soviet Union adamantly refused any outside assistance because the regime officially denied that there was any famine. Anyone claiming the contrary was accused of spreading anti-Soviet propaganda. Outside the Soviet Union, Western governments adopted a passive attitude toward the famine, although most of them had become aware of the true suffering in Ukraine through confidential diplomatic channels. TIMELINE TIMELINE 1917 The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin take power in Russia. Stalin introduces a program of agricultural collectivization that forces farmers to give up their private land, equipment and livestock, and join state owned, factory-like collective farms. Stalin decides that collective farms would not only feed the industrial workers in the cities but could also provide a substantial amount of grain to be sold abroad, with the money used to finance his industrialization plans. he Soviet Union is formed with Ukraine becoming one of the republics. Brigades of young activists from other Soviet regions are brought in to sweep through the villages and confiscate hidden grain, and eventually any and all food from the farmers’ homes. Stalin states of Ukraine that “the national question is in essence a rural question” and he and his commanders determine to “teach a lesson through famine” and ultimately, to deal a “crushing blow” to the backbone of Ukraine, its rural population. Stalin denies to the world that there is any famine in Ukraine, and continues to export millions of tons of grain, more than enough to have saved every starving man, woman and child. 1933 MAP MAP where it took place stage of genocide Stage & prevention Classification: Joseph Stalin clearly drew the boundary between "us" and "them". Symbolization: Joseph Stalin clearly drew the boundary between "us" and "them". Dehumanization: Vladimir Lenin encouraged his dear social workers to riot against the Kulaks because they were demon-like, ruthless creatures that posted a high risk on public security. Classification already existed before Stalin took power. Ukraine had thought of themselves as separate entity from Russia, and they had a distinct Ukraine culture. They were classified by their race, and the location of the land they inhabited. http://endgenocide.org/learn/preventing-future-genocides/ http://holodomorct.org/holodomor-facts-and-history/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor https://sovietholodomor.weebly.com › 8-stages-of-genocide resources resources our plan plan how to prevent it Stop the Enablers.
