Holodomor

Have you ever heard about Holodomor? If not, this is the time to learn about all this. I myself doesn't know about Holomodor but just reading the true facts about it, I have learned. As I was reading, holodomor was not really named holomodor but it was golomodor but as time goes by it was transformed into holomodor in order to politicize the issue and attract world's attention as possible making it looks and sounds like 'holocaust. The term 'Golodomor' means the «mass hunger» or the «great hunger» that caused million of victims throughout the Soviet Union in 1932-1933.

The Soviet famine of 1932-1933 affected most major grain-producing agricultural areas of the Soviet Union, including Northern Caucasus, Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The Communist governments of the Soviet Republics siezed grains from the peasantry and exported most of their Republic's agricultural output to the West in order to sustain the rapid economic transformation which is the industrialization" and collectivization.

This are very informative data that truly exist way back years ago and until now the true facts of holodomor will remain to each in everyone of us to learn the happenings before. To know more about holodomor, just click the highlighted link above and you will be directed to the main page.
