Famine as a Weapon Against Ukrainian National Identity: The Holodomor 1932-1933

For me, it is extremely important to use this work not only to prove that the Holodomor was a genocide, but also to draw attention to two theses, namely: the true nature of Ukraine's history, past and present, using the Holodomor as an example, and the role of the Russian state in this process. This will only be a drop in the ocean of the difficult relations between the two nations, but it is important enough to better understand the genesis and consequences of the genocide itself and its reverberations in the current conflict between the two Eastern European countries. This work will also help to get rid of the so-called black swans, i.e. the gaps in the perception of Ukraine's history; a history that has been shrouded in military boots and oppressed by the whips and shackles of various neighbouring states throughout the nation's existence.
