I live in the West...and I am amazed that we are not taught enough about the horrors of Holodomor. One of the forgotten genocides of the 20th Century. My thoughts are with those that have passed and my wishes are those with ones who are alive today....to never forget what happened.
I share your thoughts, it's amazing how people don't tell this stories, it's like it has never happend. Thanks we have internet to share this things away.
My grandmother was born in a village near Zhytomyr, around 1925 (what year she didn't know exactly) and told me similar stories. They were starving and were thrown out of their own house by soldiers, her parents begged a Jewish family to take care of her, she never saw them again after.
Did your grandmother know what her parents were charged with? What was their fate? Didn't your grandmother have siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins who could take care of her? Were her family kulaks?
The fact that the only "genocide" we ever hear about in the media is the one that happened in Germany in WWII should tell you something about who was behind The Holodomor as well as the Armenian Genocide
The but in Me Jones where he unknowingly eats human flesh then throws up stands out,I was eating the following day and I thought of it,I couldn't finish my food..
as an american-ukrainian (well half ukie, my mom is ukrainian and my dad is jamaican) my school/history teacher didn’t even know what holodomor was until i mentioned it to her, because we started to learn about that rise and form/birth of the soviet union. so after we had a very special lesson on it, but it still disappoints me that it is not recognizied. my great grandmother would tell my mom stories about how hungry she was n she had to steal food, n if she got caught she would get beaten. its so sick that other countries especially in the west can recognize other genocides but not ours.. :(
It wasn't a genocide, madam. Extreme weather conditions in 1931 and 32 combined with the backward state of Russian agriculture caused a massive crop failure all over the USSR. This was the reason the communists were pushing so hard to modernize agriculture. Do you know the district where your great-grandmother lived?
Pasparal da Beira do Canal ok i didnt ask for all of that or ur ignorant opinion. it was very much a genocide and if not slavery. soviet soliders would point guns to my grandparents head, and other ukrainians and forced them to work for crops n stole there land and values, just because they wanted freedom is VERY much a genocide. u uncultured swine, ur ignorant comment and people like u disgust me. maybe if u watched the video n heard people’s expirences u would acknowledge ur very wrong. also heres a great question for u, where u there? or any one u know was there? exactly dont always believe these false westernized or russianized documentscuz they arent true or accurate. don’t reply to my comment again

@@sagittariusfenty7394 I'll ignore the rude things you call me, but ask you again, where did your great-grandmother live in 1932? What is the name of the municipality or oblast?

The question we in the west must ask ourselves is why we aren't taught about the Holodomor. I saw a talk show interview about the Holocaust that would ultimately lead me down a path of curiosity and discovery that would forever change the way I understood history. During the interview, an audience member stood up and asked about the Holodomor to a group of Jews and was shocked and completely dismayed when they dismissively LAUGHED at the very question while claiming that the Holodomor was carried out against those who "deserved it", claiming the victims were mostly male Russian soldiers which couldn't be further from the truth as the majority of the victims were women and children all throughout the Ukrainian countryside. I was further dismayed when I learned more and more that the heartless reaction they gave was all too common and that was if they hadn't denied that the Holodomor occurred altogether. It wasn't until I learned WHO carried out the Holodomor that I finally realized why they responded in such a callous, inhumane manner or denied it ever occurred. This then lead to me reading about the history of Communism, why it was created, how and the real reasons why it is inflicted on humanity, which is in part answered when learning that the outcome of Communism never ends with a workers paradise but in the complete overthrow of free societies and Democratic or Republic governments which are replaced with totalitarian dystopias which only benefit a very small group of people who further enrich and empower themselves while they claim to be eternal victims. All of this is achieved at the expense of the pain, misery, and often death of the remaining population which total in the tens of millions to billions. It's a tragic story that continues to play out today including throughout the western world using the exact same template of using a very calculated, deceptive ideology called critical theory to turn several groups of people against another group of people who is demonized, vilified, and maligned as oppressors of those other groups when in reality they are not. Today, in America, critical theory is being used but instead of targeting and dividing groups along with class, they mostly use race. It's so obvious as to what this is for those who have learned from history but unfortunately, they only make up a very small percentage of Americans who have absolutely no institutional power to stop America from going down the same path of destruction China, Russia, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, and over twenty other countries who have long since embraced communism followed by the same inevitable fate but not before a decade's long downward descent consisting of demoralization, division, and destruction Learning these facts hasn't been easy but it is the only way we can free ourselves and do our part to prevent it from plaguing our world today. I just fear that it's all too little, too late.
What I don’t get is why you see white people as victims. How in your mind they aren’t oppressors. If you seriously think that 339 years of enslavement and 89 years of legalized segregation has had no affect on American society today and the power structures within it then I don’t even know what to tell you. Those who seek to abolish critical race theory are only looking to cover up black people’s history of oppression. To ignore the uncomfortable truths and paint themselves as the good guys. Sound familiar? And that’s what the right is all about. Flaunting confederate statues and memorabilia while covering up the parts of history they’re not comfortable with. Also I have no love for communism, and the Holodomor was definitely a genocide. It’s a shame you couldn’t discuss that and instead chose to use a countries tragedy to vilify a group of people you don’t like (and didn’t even want to name) .

It's generalization, you are literally dividing people in groups and demonizing one of them. How do you want the world to progress like this? If you keep locked to the past and generalizing
@ The descendants of the slave owners benefit from slavery. The descendants of those enslaved do not. At this point in time wealth can’t even be inherited in black families from more than 2 generations back while many (not all) white families have been building their wealth for several generations. In my country, until we can recognize the privilege that some of us have and the position it puts others in I don’t think that separating ourselves from our ancestry is productive in anyway. This leads to the false assumption that things like privilege, trauma, and poverty can’t be inherited and are strictly individualistic.

The sad part for the Ukrainians who immigrated to Canada in the first wave , still had the Canadian gov’t turn on them during WWl after recruiting them to come and claim land especially in the prairie provinces. Over 8,600 Ukrainians were forced into internment camps across Canada and were used as labourers. Some of the work camps were still operating a full two years after the war ended to continue to build roads and buildings to create some of the national parks. If they were put into the internment camps, their land, property and money was taken away from them and their families ( many had come with nothing and had to work hard to try and clear enough land to survive off of which took years to do.) and was never give back nor has there ever been any reparations paid to those whose only crime here in Canada was that they were Ukrainians who came from the Austro-Hungarian empire. Those who weren’t placed in camps had to be registered and check in with the police regularly. If they did not, they were arrested and jailed. They also had to carry a registration card with their ID at all times and were subjected to terrible treatment. The incredible part was that there were still naturalized Ukrainians who signed up and fought in WWl with the Allied forces and yet their families were still placed in the internment camps. Some say that the camps of WWl in Canada was a dress rehearsal for the Japanese internment camps in WWll and yet there has never been any reparations made to those who suffered greatly during WWl.
Yet, you uncritically take the Ukrainian narrative. If anything, the Ukrainian genocide narrative is actually a form of genocide denial itself. The “Holodomor” was actually something much worse that killed just as many ethnic Russians and 30% to up to 42% of ethnic Kazakhs. Poor Soviet policy and efforts to cover up the famine through secret relief are much to be criticized. By the UN definition, the famine technically isn’t genocide but lets be honest: the UN definition is way too limited in scope with the criteria for intent especially being controversial. Under an expanded definition that includes class groups, the Soviet famine in the 30s can be classed as an genocide against the kulak class. Ukrainian genocide narrative comes from a group of Ukrainian diaspora who were Nazi sympathizers and paid figures such as Robert Conquest to write works on the subject with Nazi sources and with Soviet archives not open to the public. His co author died in 1987 while an interview with Wheatcroft in 2003 shows that Conquest no longer supports his original Ukrainian genocide narrative. Other works after the Soviet archives got released are written as pop history rather than one with academic rigour. Read an scholarly article on the famine. Wheatcroft and Davies set the standard for such articles with Ellman, Kotkin, and Tauger to name a few also having good articles. All of these scholars are your standard scholars and not “communist propaganda”.

Without the assistance of the Capitalist Anglo-Saxon nations the Germans would have destroyed the USSR with ease, and the world would have been better off for it.

Today, heroes in Azov Battalion and Ukrainian army fight to the death to remain free from the insane backward ideology which destroyed their country and murdered their countrymen.
Either you're intelectually impaired or dishonest. The famine HAPPENED, the part where it is stated that it was planned that's propaganda bit. There's not one piece of evidence to state it was planned. It killed more Russians and Kazakhs than ukranians, how is it planned ukranian genocide? That's why this is not even consensual among scholars.
My maternal great-grandfather was one of the Holodomor survivors. He escaped with some brothers and had to migrate until they ended up in Veracruz, Mexico. He died at the age of 93. He was born around 1925. was born in a village somewhere in the central east of Ukraine
It breaks my soul to see that there are very few people informed about this event, these survivors also deserve to be heard and to know their history as well as the victims of the holocaust. Communism and Nazism are the same shit.
How awful... and it’s extra awful that it’s barely even known about by anyone in America... we only hear about the Jews... which was also awful.. but both things should be taught.. and now it’s going to happen in America... someday
There are tens of millions murdered that American schools won't discuss because nothing bad can be said about socialism. Look up Cambodia or The Great Leap Forward
In actuality, no one in the comfortable West knows anything about the horrors that people experienced under communism in the Soviet Union. So much to learn. These atrocities are never so far off from our future if we fail to be reminded of them from the past.
Comfortable? There are 30 million people living in poverty in the US alone. Not that thats anything compared to the horrors of the Holodomor, but still.
Too much happened that's why,it's totally over whelming,all you hear about is Stalingrad and a few other things. You don't hear much about the 26 million or so deaths or the purges by Stalin 10 years before the war,what horrible horrible times!!
You’re right. I will never understand why the world doesn’t speak on this horrible genocide. There were so many cases of cannibalism, too… Parents literally had to decide who to kill first so they could make a soup, canned meat and let the others live. There was a story from a lady who survived, she said her sister suddenly disappeared and years later she found out they were eating her for several months. Apparently her sister was very sick already, so her mom sacrificed her to save the other kids.
Bless this mans soul. He suffered not only through the Holodomor and Stalins purges, but also under the brutality of the Nazis. Stories like this really make me appreciate what I have.

Nestor Bilous was born in 1889 in the village of Leb'yazh, Pechenizky district, Kharkiv region. From his diary: October 1929 "There was a sale of the property of Sovy Fyodor Logvinovich - as 10%, everything was sold to the core, and the families were told to go wherever they please. Now my opinion. The party is grossly mistaken [in] regard to these measures, because they thereby undermine the authority of the peasantry. And even a big mistake of our rural organizations, such as POPs and komezams. Komnezam are people who do not at all understand the situation even from the five-year plan, because it has only passed one year out of the five-year plan, and four more, and in these four years they will also get to be left without a shirt, and some without a house , because there will no longer be 10%, and if you look at whoever breathes at least a little, it means you give, and this will lead us all through our darkness and disorganization. We are the peasantry, we cannot stand up to our rights and we will be ripped off by every one of us, like a broom on a twig. Now in relation to 10%. Are these people such enemies that their Party directly condemns them to death by starvation? After all, when the Red Army fought from Denikin and Wrangel and took officers prisoner with whole regiments - and then they did not shoot or chop them all, but sent them to the camp and fed them, and now they also serve in posts, and the dark peasant has now become the most dangerous for the Party enemy counter-revolutionary. With this crude and barbaric decree, all our peasant shed shelter for liberation from the yoke of the tsar and the landowners will be lost, because the Party wants to turn the entire peasantry into the Commune, so that he is not free, but that he is always on the alert, like a Red Army soldier, and the workers themselves they do not want to be in the Commune, but in order to receive a salary and spend on themselves, and do not ask for excess from him. January 1931 "Strong frost up to 20 degrees from the east wind. Flour at the market in Chuguev pood 8 rubles, yogurt - 6 rubles, pork lard - 1 pound 12 rubles, herring ½ pound - 1 ruble, alkaline soap - a piece of 7 rubles, lean oil - 7 rubles a bottle. The workers have not received their wages for 2 months already, and life becomes more expensive, discontent is growing among the workers. There are large taxes on the peasants, namely: in 1930 I paid tax 12 rubles 42 kopecks, self-taxation - 12 rubles 45 kopecks, insurance - 13 rubles. 13 kopecks I have consolidated all these payments, now even flesh for the construction of a tractor station - 10 rubles. that for land reclamation - 11 rubles, but I think it does not pay off." January 1933 "I leave for Kharkov and go to work at the c-base of the Kharkov Meat Factory for 73 rubles 92 kopecks per month, lunch cost 80 kopecks from 2 courses, dinner 40 kopecks. from the 1st dish. And it’s impossible to live in the village at all - there’s no bread, people swell with hunger, walk around like hungry shadows, buy bread at the market costs a loaf of 5 pounds. - 25 rubles." April 1933 "It rains frequently and it is cold, sowing is very weak, because there is no grain, there are no horses either, and if the kovo does have a horse, it is still very weak, so it does not nurse the day in the harrow. So this year there will be even more undersowing. And people know they are dying, so they put 6 souls in one hole, because there is no one to dig graves. 27 / IV Butenko Nikolai Fedorovich, a young guy, 22 years old, a real Guardsman, big, handsome, died, and had to die of starvation, leash because the village council did not give him a certificate, like the son of a roasted father, and without a certificate there is nowhere to they would not accept work, and in the spring, when he was already completely weak, then there was work, but he could not work, and he had to die of starvation."

@@sandrocosta479You are conspiracist stop spreading the bullshit. It's called holodomor because it derives from the Ukrainian word "holod" which means hunger.

None of this is taught in schools. None of it. I have asked many of my Gen-X and Millennial friends about the Holodomor, and not a single one was even vaguely aware of it. The 30+ million that died - that is only the number “historians” will admit to, and no, it wasn’t all from starvation, which is horrific enough. Christian farmers were slaughtered wholesale, or enslaved, for “the good of the community”. Tell me again how Marxism, socialism or communism is good - and NOT in theory; In practice. This has happened everywhere it has been tried, without exception. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
That’s how it worked in USSR: countries around Russia were only there to help Russia. We can be so glad that USSR collapsed. Poutine does not accept that but he will have to.
The kulaks were oppressed by the Tzar. They were poor but owned land and could hire people. They lended money to poor people.

And were hard years in the beginning of collectivism and after war. Very hard times. With some people working hard latest years of sovejt union were actually ok. There was not so much stuff in store but nobody was actually hungry naked in cold or without home. or work if he wanted one. Bad side: if you say something against power, do you get punished? But this is now too so!
They worked there for free of for food. Communists took all food, bellonings, land, al lof their properties. In another story I heard that a woman worked for a glass of wheat per day. My granny used to work in a farm in 50s-60s. She started at 4am, had to milk 17 cows with her hands 3 times a day and finished late in the evening. She earned very little and was very poor. But before the communists came into their village her parents had been quite wealthy because they worked hard to have it, but everything was later taken from them by communists. They were from western part of Ukraine where people didn't feel the holodomor that much but my granny said that her father would dig in a chest of wheat in their garden every year.

as an american-ukrainian (well half ukie, my mom is ukrainian and my dad is jamaican) my school/history teacher didn’t even know what holodomor was until i mentioned it to her, because we started to learn about that rise and form/birth of the soviet union. so after we had a very special lesson on it, but it still disappoints me that it is not recognizied. my great grandmother would tell my mom stories about how hungry she was n she had to steal food, n if she got caught she would get beaten. its so sick that other countries especially in the west can recognize other genocides but not ours.. :(
It wasn't a genocide, madam. Extreme weather conditions in 1931 and 32 combined with the backward state of Russian agriculture caused a massive crop failure all over the USSR. This was the reason the communists were pushing so hard to modernize agriculture. Do you know the district where your great-grandmother lived?
Pasparal da Beira do Canal ok i didnt ask for all of that or ur ignorant opinion. it was very much a genocide and if not slavery. soviet soliders would point guns to my grandparents head, and other ukrainians and forced them to work for crops n stole there land and values, just because they wanted freedom is VERY much a genocide. u uncultured swine, ur ignorant comment and people like u disgust me. maybe if u watched the video n heard people’s expirences u would acknowledge ur very wrong. also heres a great question for u, where u there? or any one u know was there? exactly dont always believe these false westernized or russianized documentscuz they arent true or accurate. don’t reply to my comment again

Both are absolute tragedy's, but the Irish weren't restricted from leaving. Also the communist party did this twice to Ukraine, once I'm 32-33 and another time in the 20's.

Red army is the reason you don't speak German so stop that with that Horseshoe theory bullshit
The question we in the west must ask ourselves is why we aren't taught about the Holodomor.
I saw a talk show interview about the Holocaust that would ultimately lead me down a path of curiosity and discovery that would forever change the way I understood history.
During the interview, an audience member stood up and asked about the Holodomor to a group of Jews and was shocked and completely dismayed when they dismissively LAUGHED at the very question while claiming that the Holodomor was carried out against those who "deserved it", claiming the victims were mostly male Russian soldiers which couldn't be further from the truth as the majority of the victims were women and children all throughout the Ukrainian countryside.
I was further dismayed when I learned more and more that the heartless reaction they gave was all too common and that was if they hadn't denied that the Holodomor occurred altogether. It wasn't until I learned WHO carried out the Holodomor that I finally realized why they responded in such a callous, inhumane manner or denied it ever occurred.
This then lead to me reading about the history of Communism, why it was created, how and the real reasons why it is inflicted on humanity, which is in part answered when learning that the outcome of Communism never ends with a workers paradise but in the complete overthrow of free societies and Democratic or Republic governments which are replaced with totalitarian dystopias which only benefit a very small group of people who further enrich and empower themselves while they claim to be eternal victims. All of this is achieved at the expense of the pain, misery, and often death of the remaining population which total in the tens of millions to billions.
It's a tragic story that continues to play out today including throughout the western world using the exact same template of using a very calculated, deceptive ideology called critical theory to turn several groups of people against another group of people who is demonized, vilified, and maligned as oppressors of those other groups when in reality they are not.
Today, in America, critical theory is being used but instead of targeting and dividing groups along with class, they mostly use race. It's so obvious as to what this is for those who have learned from history but unfortunately, they only make up a very small percentage of Americans who have absolutely no institutional power to stop America from going down the same path of destruction China, Russia, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, and over twenty other countries who have long since embraced communism followed by the same inevitable fate but not before a decade's long downward descent consisting of demoralization, division, and destruction
Learning these facts hasn't been easy but it is the only way we can free ourselves and do our part to prevent it from plaguing our world today. I just fear that it's all too little, too late.
What I don’t get is why you see white people as victims. How in your mind they aren’t oppressors. If you seriously think that 339 years of enslavement and 89 years of legalized segregation has had no affect on American society today and the power structures within it then I don’t even know what to tell you. Those who seek to abolish critical race theory are only looking to cover up black people’s history of oppression. To ignore the uncomfortable truths and paint themselves as the good guys. Sound familiar? And that’s what the right is all about. Flaunting confederate statues and memorabilia while covering up the parts of history they’re not comfortable with. Also I have no love for communism, and the Holodomor was definitely a genocide. It’s a shame you couldn’t discuss that and instead chose to use a countries tragedy to vilify a group of people you don’t like (and didn’t even want to name) .
@@4ndrewjlm924 Society should work together as a whole to evolve and progress, not divide itself in groups and fight between each other. Ridiculous how you say "white people are opressors", do you not hear yourself? You actually got an entire group of millions and millions of people and insulted and called yourself a victim because in the past actual opressors were part of that group. That's as if I called every german a nazist or every russian a communist. Slave owners in the US were white is a correct thing to say. Saying white people were slave owners IS NOT. It's generalization, you are literally dividing people in groups and demonizing one of them. How do you want the world to progress like this? If you keep locked to the past and generalizing
@ The descendants of the slave owners benefit from slavery. The descendants of those enslaved do not. At this point in time wealth can’t even be inherited in black families from more than 2 generations back while many (not all) white families have been building their wealth for several generations. In my country, until we can recognize the privilege that some of us have and the position it puts others in I don’t think that separating ourselves from our ancestry is productive in anyway. This leads to the false assumption that things like privilege, trauma, and poverty can’t be inherited and are strictly individualistic.

The sad part for the Ukrainians who immigrated to Canada in the first wave , still had the Canadian gov’t turn on them during WWl after recruiting them to come and claim land especially in the prairie provinces. Over 8,600 Ukrainians were forced into internment camps across Canada and were used as labourers. Some of the work camps were still operating a full two years after the war ended to continue to build roads and buildings to create some of the national parks. If they were put into the internment camps, their land, property and money was taken away from them and their families ( many had come with nothing and had to work hard to try and clear enough land to survive off of which took years to do.) and was never give back nor has there ever been any reparations paid to those whose only crime here in Canada was that they were Ukrainians who came from the Austro-Hungarian empire. Those who weren’t placed in camps had to be registered and check in with the police regularly. If they did not, they were arrested and jailed. They also had to carry a registration card with their ID at all times and were subjected to terrible treatment. The incredible part was that there were still naturalized Ukrainians who signed up and fought in WWl with the Allied forces and yet their families were still placed in the internment camps. Some say that the camps of WWl in Canada was a dress rehearsal for the Japanese internment camps in WWll and yet there has never been any reparations made to those who suffered greatly during WWl.
Average tankie: NO NO NO NO😭😭 ITS ALL PROPAGANDA 😭😭😭
Yet, you uncritically take the Ukrainian narrative. If anything, the Ukrainian genocide narrative is actually a form of genocide denial itself. The “Holodomor” was actually something much worse that killed just as many ethnic Russians and 30% to up to 42% of ethnic Kazakhs. Poor Soviet policy and efforts to cover up the famine through secret relief are much to be criticized. By the UN definition, the famine technically isn’t genocide but lets be honest: the UN definition is way too limited in scope with the criteria for intent especially being controversial. Under an expanded definition that includes class groups, the Soviet famine in the 30s can be classed as an genocide against the kulak class.
Ukrainian genocide narrative comes from a group of Ukrainian diaspora who were Nazi sympathizers and paid figures such as Robert Conquest to write works on the subject with Nazi sources and with Soviet archives not open to the public. His co author died in 1987 while an interview with Wheatcroft in 2003 shows that Conquest no longer supports his original Ukrainian genocide narrative. Other works after the Soviet archives got released are written as pop history rather than one with academic rigour.
Read an scholarly article on the famine. Wheatcroft and Davies set the standard for such articles with Ellman, Kotkin, and Tauger to name a few also having good articles. All of these scholars are your standard scholars and not “communist propaganda”.

God bless my people in Ukraine. My family went through this. My name is forever tied to Ukraine.
Nestor Bilous was born in 1889 in the village of Leb'yazh, Pechenizky district, Kharkiv region.
From his diary:
October 1929
"There was a sale of the property of Sovy Fyodor Logvinovich - as 10%,
everything was sold to the core, and the families were told to go wherever they please. Now my opinion. The party is grossly mistaken [in] regard to these measures, because they thereby undermine the authority of the peasantry. And even a big mistake of our rural organizations, such as POPs and komezams. Komnezam are people who do not at all understand the situation even from the five-year plan, because it has only passed one year out of the five-year plan, and four more, and in these four years they will also get to be left without a shirt, and some without a house , because there will no longer be 10%, and if you look at whoever breathes at least a little, it means you give, and this will lead us all through our darkness and disorganization. We are the peasantry, we cannot stand up to our rights and we will be ripped off by every one of us, like a broom on a twig. Now in relation to 10%. Are these people such enemies that their Party directly condemns them to death by starvation? After all, when the Red Army fought from Denikin and Wrangel and took officers prisoner with whole regiments - and then they did not shoot or chop them all, but sent them to the camp and fed them, and now they also serve in posts, and the dark peasant has now become the most dangerous for the Party enemy counter-revolutionary. With this crude and barbaric decree, all our peasant shed shelter for liberation from the yoke of the tsar and the landowners will be lost, because the Party wants to turn the entire peasantry into the Commune, so that he is not free, but that he is always on the alert, like a Red Army soldier, and the workers themselves they do not want to be in the Commune, but in order to receive a salary and spend on themselves, and do not ask for excess from him.
January 1931
"Strong frost up to 20 degrees from the east wind.
Flour at the market in Chuguev pood 8 rubles, yogurt - 6 rubles, pork lard - 1 pound 12 rubles, herring ½ pound - 1 ruble, alkaline soap - a piece of 7 rubles, lean oil - 7 rubles a bottle.
The workers have not received their wages for 2 months already, and life becomes more expensive, discontent is growing among the workers. There are large taxes on the peasants, namely: in 1930 I paid tax 12 rubles 42 kopecks, self-taxation - 12 rubles 45 kopecks, insurance - 13 rubles. 13 kopecks I have consolidated all these payments, now even flesh for the construction of a tractor station - 10 rubles. that for land reclamation - 11 rubles, but I think it does not pay off."
January 1933
"I leave for Kharkov and go to work at the c-base of the Kharkov Meat Factory for 73 rubles 92 kopecks per month, lunch cost 80 kopecks from 2 courses, dinner 40 kopecks. from the 1st dish.
And it’s impossible to live in the village at all - there’s no bread, people swell with hunger, walk around like hungry shadows, buy bread at the market costs a loaf of 5 pounds. - 25 rubles."
April 1933
"It rains frequently and it is cold, sowing is very weak, because there is no grain, there are no horses either, and if the kovo does have a horse, it is still very weak, so it does not nurse the day in the harrow.
So this year there will be even more undersowing. And people know they are dying, so they put 6 souls in one hole, because there is no one to dig graves.
27 / IV Butenko Nikolai Fedorovich, a young guy, 22 years old, a real Guardsman, big, handsome, died, and had to die of starvation, leash because the village council did not give him a certificate, like the son of a roasted father, and without a certificate there is nowhere to they would not accept work, and in the spring, when he was already completely weak, then there was work, but he could not work, and he had to die of starvation."

@@sandrocosta479You are conspiracist stop spreading the bullshit. It's called holodomor because it derives from the Ukrainian word "holod" which means hunger. It wasn't talked about at the beginning because Soviet union was denying that this happened and hid the truth. As well, people didn't speak up because they were frightened and they wanted to survive. Obviously it took time until the world got to know about this. Moreover, soviets were perceived as "good people" because they won nazism, therefore not many countries were interested in talking about crimes of Soviets
History repeats and over the next 3 years you will witness this personally.
1930s Caucasus my grandmother did not have food for her 4 children.4,7,10,13,
Heartbreaking what the evil people can do. So glad that some people were able to make it. Very, very hard times.
This hits especially hard understanding the language.

Important testimony. Разом до перемоги.
None of this is taught in schools. None of it. I have asked many of my Gen-X and Millennial friends about the Holodomor, and not a single one was even vaguely aware of it.
The 30+ million that died - that is only the number “historians” will admit to, and no, it wasn’t all from starvation, which is horrific enough.
Christian farmers were slaughtered wholesale, or enslaved, for “the good of the community”.
Tell me again how Marxism, socialism or communism is good - and NOT in theory; In practice. This has happened everywhere it has been tried, without exception. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Whats the violin piece?
Funny that even today the gatekeepers blame inflation on the producers.
Yet the Orcs expected to be greeted with flowers !!!
unspeakable cruelty!!!
At 1:20 he says Ukranian Christian, and the subtitle says Ukrainian farmer
Actually he says Ukrainian peasants
@@hihihaha6057 he says: українськова Крістіаніна
Which is Ukranian Christian. I speak and write both Russian and Ukranian
Start watching from 1:10 to hear the whole sentence
@@andrey162000 “Крестьянин” means “peasant” and it suits better by its meaning. I also speak both Ukrainian and Russian
@@andrey162000 «Христианин» would be pronounced a bit differently
That’s how it worked in USSR: countries around Russia were only there to help Russia. We can be so glad that USSR collapsed. Poutine does not accept that but he will have to.
Why is he speaking Russian?
Is Ukrainian
This is exactly the same thing that is going on now in Europe with the farmers.
"yea but next time will be different our guy woypd never do that man"
The kulaks were oppressed by the Tzar. They were poor but owned land and could hire people. They lended money to poor people. But then Stalin said they were oppressing people and ended up deporting 50,000 of them. They were human too, never let anyone tell u that they were oppressive. They were oppressed.
How many strong people died fighting 'Communism'; they didn't bend the knee and we owe them for fighting back. Communism; It won't work this time either.
Слава Україні !
@@louisecorchevolle9241 The goal of dekulakization or "elimination of the kulaks as a class" was to turn kulaks into collectivized workers, not to assassinate them! The Ukrainian kulaks stood out by their degree of reactionary nationalism and willingness to use violence.

After revolution
there was hunger everywhere
1. communist revolution was bad idea.
2. They had food and they didn't want to share?
Good video! 👍
I didn't know that was good year!
Hope with all my heart, that it will never happen again (Mao did the same in China) and that is why we have to beat those criminal regimes.

Again, this was everywhere!!!
In Estonia women went to cry with their cows, if they had opportunities.
Cows were so important to us.
Now 🐮 belonged to collectives.
And were hard years in the beginning of collectivism and after war.
Very hard times.
With some people working hard latest years of sovejt union were actually ok. There was not so much stuff in store but nobody was actually hungry naked in cold or without home. or work if he wanted one.
Bad side: if you say something against power, do you get punished?
But this is now too so!
Where is buzzfeed.....?
So why didnt they just initially join the collective?? They ended up in a village that did and survived. Their fate was preventable? I don't get it.
"Why didn't you collaborate with the oppressive regime that will starve you otherwise?"
They worked there for free of for food. Communists took all food, bellonings, land, al lof their properties. In another story I heard that a woman worked for a glass of wheat per day.
My granny used to work in a farm in 50s-60s. She started at 4am, had to milk 17 cows with her hands 3 times a day and finished late in the evening. She earned very little and was very poor. But before the communists came into their village her parents had been quite wealthy because they worked hard to have it, but everything was later taken from them by communists. They were from western part of Ukraine where people didn't feel the holodomor that much but my granny said that her father would dig in a chest of wheat in their garden every year.
