*** Today Ukraine remembers the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933.

In the 20th century, the Ukrainians experienced three famines: 1921-1923, 1932-1933, and the famine of 1946-1947. However, the one that brought most losses was the Holodomor of 1932-1933 - the genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the totalitarian Communist regime of the Soviet Union.
