...still thinking about Holodomor and today's realities of Ukrainian pensioners.

See the wikipedia, the average pension in Ukraine is 50 dollars. https://goo.gl/NA5Nrh
If you as a pensioner is not supported by the family or children then it is = Holodomor.
What I think is that there are the business elites in Ukraine who live like a country in the country.
They do not belong to the Ukrainian nation neither by the blood not by the spirit.
Even if they are pro-Western and save Ukraine as one unit-country, yet their true god is their pocket and not taking care of the most vulnerable population of the nation.
Sometimes you start to ask yourself, what is more important the territorial integrity of the country or the integrity of human lives and quality of lives of the most vulnerable people?
After all, in the active phase of the war was lost sometimes up to 100 Ukrainian soldiers a day.
And meanwhile some citizens calculating if the money will be enough to survive until tomorrow, for few others the present-day situation is earning of fabulous sums of money. Therefore Holodomor topic for the millions of vulnerable citizens is insulting  today, because they are discarded to economic genocide.
We certainly need time and I hope that the younger generation will change this country on the European model. But mentioning the Holodomor in the past I was just thinking about today's bitter realities for many people.
