Holomodor or Golomodor

I have found a site called Holodomor truth, and it’s a source of information about Golomodor that happen in 1932 to 1933 in the former Soviet Union.

Golomodor is the word for mass hunger or great hunger and it caused the death of million of soviet victims during these two years.

There is some dispute and discussion on Ukraine where the people in charge tried to compare Golomodor to Holocaust, changing its name to Holomodor in a direct comparison with the drama occurred at World War II.

Looking to the number of death, estimated between six to eight million, it is normal to compare with World War II and the eight million of death in concentration camps and in battle.



What do you thin about this discussion? Holomodor or Golomodor, the truth is that for the people who died on those years and for the families brooked by this drama, there is no turn back.

Golomodor, or this mass hunger occurred and affected former Soviet Union Republics of the North Caucasus and Volga region, the South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, and it is believed that appear due Stalin policies of exporting grains to the west.

The major number of death occurred in Central Russia with two million of people, but all the former republics that I have told you earlier had a great number of families affected by Holomodor or Golomodor!
