According to V. Yushchenko true history unites a nation. He also mentioned that our search for truth and attempts to recognize Ukraine’s Soviet-era famine as genocide are in no way aimed against other states or nations. “Revival of our heritage is not aimed against anyone. We don’t want to humiliate any of nations or states.”
