Holodomor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjcO4tcobc0


Listen to all 4 parts of this lecture on YouTube . ( As it was mentioned, THERE IS debate about the actual numbers of dead, ranging from six million to ten million, ( Though Andrea Graziosi tells a different number of victims -about 4 million.) But here there are interesting arguments regarding the famine as genocide against Ukrainian people.

The Ukrainian Famine of 1933: Man-made Catastrophe, Mass Murder, or Genocide?

In Ukraine, recent years have brought the opening of a number of archives, including the Branch State Archives of the Security Service of Ukraine (HDA SBU). In 2006, a collection of primary materials which had been denied to re-searchers for all those years were declassified. Thus, the employees of the Soviet security services have unwillingly turned out to be the period's chroniclers, with the documents prepared by them serving as witness to the contemporary situation in the Ukrainian countryside, transmitting the orders issued by the authorities and their own efforts at implementation, giving accounts of the growing social unrest, administering repression aimed at pacifying said unrest and undertaking efforts to prevent the "leakage" of true information regarding the nature and scope of the famine. Some of those documents have been published in a collection of primary sources by the employees of the SSU12.
Among all the primary sources, two other publications merit noting. 33-й: голод. Народна книга-меморіал (Kiev 1991)
The documents regarding the famine that have not been published in Ukraine should also be mentioned. A particularly important publication is that of the documents of the British Foreign Office commemorating the 55th anniversary of the great tragedy: The Foreign Office and the Famine. British Documents on Ukraine and the Great Famine of 1932-1933 (Kingston-New York 1988). The same year marked the release of primary sources from the German Foreign Ministry, collected under the title Der ukrainische Hunger-Holocaust. Stalins Verschwiegener Völkenmord 1932/1933 an 7 Milionen ukrainischen Bauern im Spiegel geheimgehaltener Akten des deutschen Auswärtigen Amtes (Sonnenbühl 1988). In the year following that anniversary, an Italian scholar, professor Andrea Graziosi, published reports by the Italian diplomats who served in Soviet Ukraine at that time.
The Polish literature on the subject is much less voluminous than the Ukrainian, even though publications on such issues as collectivization in the Ukrainian SSR were already available before WWII. Polish researchers would also have the opportunity to take up the subject only after 1989. The issues of collectivization and the famine resulting in its aftermath have been explored primarily by Robert Kusnierz and Czeslaw Rajca . A short article on that very subject has been published by a renowned scholar of Polish-Ukrainian relations, Ryszard Torzecki, in the "Warszawskie Zeszyty Ukrainoznawcze." As for the Polish minority in the Ukrainian SSR during the famine, two publications of primary sources are available: Glöd i represje wobec ludnosci polskiej na Ukrainie 1932-1947. Relacje (Lublin 2005), and Polacyna Ukrainie (part 1: 1917-1939, v. 1-5, Przemysl 1998- -2005).

The Stalin-Kaganovich Correspondence, 1931–36

http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300093674

Pavel Postyshev, 1933

"The Stalinist totalitarian regime tried hard to ensure that everyone kept silent about the Holodomor, even people who had survived it, as well as their children and grandchildren; so that no one knew about this genocide abroad, and if they found out about it, they would keep silent.”

"Under the direct leadership and directions of the Central Committee pf the Communist Party and personally of comrade Stalin, we smashed the Ukrainian nationalist counterrevolution."

V. Ovsiienko (human rights activist in Kharkiv)

Sir Winston Churchill to Joseph Stalin:

“...Have the stresses of war been as bad to you personally as carrying through the policy of Collective Farms?”

Stalin:

“ - Oh no, The Collective Farm policy was a terrible struggle... Ten million (he said holding up his hands). It was fearful. Four years it lasted. It was absolutely necessary.”

“Ukrainians are an ethos, with their profound religiosity, individualism, tradition of private property, and devotion to their plots of land, were not suited to the construction of communism, and this fact was noted by the high-ranking Soviet officials.”

Wasyl Hryshko quotes

“This was the first instance of a peacetime genocide in history. It took the extraordinary form of an artificial famine deliberately created by the ruling powers. The savage combination of words for the designation of a crime - an artificial deliberately planned famine - is still incredible to many people throughout the world, but indicates the uniqueness of the tragedy of 1933, which is unparalleled for a time of peace, in the number of victims it claimed.”

Lance Morrow - journalist

"Walter Duranty helped to turn the monster Stalin into a world figure and a hero of the leftistWestern intelligentsia by defending the bloodbath of the Soviet Union from its critics in the now famous: “You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.”

History should teach us

Someone may think that the horrors of deliberate man-made famine were only possible by the misanthropic virus of Bolshevism, under the despotic rule of the meanest degenerates, but what I think that according to the history of past socio-political experiments, we don't need to think that can't or won't happen again, especially in the societies which have been dominated by chronic disrespect for human beings and chronic disrespect to private property / middle class.. The oligarchic clan-world of large corporate farms(motivated solely on making money) are actually the fastest way to accomplish this. That is why the tragedy of famine is bitter history lesson and warning for the future.
