Zelenskiy Says No Words To Describe Pain Of Holodomor

KYIV -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said mankind has yet to come up with words to describe the pain Ukrainians experienced during the Stalin-era famine, known as the Holodomor.

Zelenskiy made the remarks at a ceremony in Kyiv on November 23, as Ukrainians marked the 86th anniversary of the Holodomor, in which millions of people died of starvation blamed largely on Soviet policies of the early 1930s.

Zelenskiy told the crowd that Ukraine "will never forget nor forgive the crime of the Holodomor, which was caused by the Stalin regime."

Then, I'll just add in a few other articles for today:

Meet the Jewish Canadian reporter who interviewed Nazi leaders and blazed a trail for women journalists
By Omar Mosleh Star Edmonton

EDMONTON—“RUSSIA EXPELS Canadian Girl REPORTER” blared a headline of the Sept. 29, 1932 edition of the Vancouver Sun, in reference to Rhea Clyman, a Canadian journalist who made international news when she was expelled from the Soviet Union for reporting about horrific conditions experienced under Soviet rule.

“Children lived on grass” reads another headline, describing the Holodomor famine-genocide, this time from the May 16, 1933 edition of the Toronto Evening Telegram.

“I shut my eyes, I could not bear to look at all this horror,” reads Clyman’s account of what she witnessed in Soviet Russia as a foreign correspondent.

Canada seems to really go out for this. As said, there are stories on these events almost every day.  Many heroes we are not aware of.

The New York Times and Walter Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for Duranty's Holodomor-denying reports. (Skew York Slimes!)

I'm not "objective" wrt Stalin era doings. My Volga German Grandparents left Russia in the first decade of the 20th Century, knowing how things were likely to go. My Grandmother's brother were in the Russian Army, and stayed. Communication from them to my Grandparents went silent in the late 1920s. They might have been killed because of ties to the Czar ("formers" - their regiment had been his bodyguard). They might have been killed because they were the sons of land-owning farmers ("sons of kulaks"). They might have been killed because of their German ancestry. They might have simply returned to their home area in the Ukraine, gotten on with life, and died in the Holodomor. My Grandmother never heard what happened to them. It was only in reading Gulag Archipelago that I learned of the possibilities I listed.

Equally devastating as the Holocaust, driven by a similar brand of brutal statists, but hardly ever given much mention because the media always covers for their fellow commie comrades.

I think the video below says all remember the Holodomor at a certain time. That happens with other events too.

Some articles say potentially, Russia could become a "Muslim majority nation" in decades. That certainly isn't so with Ukraine. I have no idea what Russia will be like in 30 years.

I couldn't find just a straightforward story on this but with video, RFE, Radio Free Europe posted this story yesterday:

Lithuania Holds State Funeral For Men Executed In Anti-Tsarist Uprising

The remains of men executed during a failed 1863-64 uprising against the Russian Empire were buried following a state funeral in Lithuania's capital, Vilnius...

That's pretty interesting, this one goes way back.  Apparently, about those who rebelled against the Czar himself.

Russia has always been a brutal state. The commies just took it to a new level since they did not believe in God, the checks the church had on state sponsored brutality no longer applied.
