Welcome to the Holodomor.org.uk site, associated with the campaign for UK government to recognise the Holdomor, or genocidal famine, of 1932-33 in Ukraine as genocide. The aims of the site are:
To oppose Russia's military action in Ukraine and challenge Russia's propaganda conduits in the West
To enable people campaigning for recognition of the Holodomor to coordinate their work
To promote awareness of the Holodomor among the British public and politicians.
The Holodomor, or Hunger plague, was a famine engineered by the Soviet Union as part of a series of actions, including mass executions, designed to destroy the Ukrainian nation. Census data reveal a shortfall of 11,000, 000 in the Ukrainian population by 1937. Before and during 1937 large numbers of Ukrainians would be executed in the Great Terror which, although all the Soviet Union was affected, had a specifically Ukrainian dimension.
