WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate has adopted a resolution recognizing that Soviet dictator Josef Stalin committed genocide against the Ukrainian people in the early 1930s, when millions died in a horrific famine known as the Holodomor.

The "simple resolution" passed on October 3 commemorates the 85th anniversary of the famine of 1932-33, saying the event “should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine.”

The Senate "recognizes the findings of the Commission on the Ukraine Famine as submitted to Congress on April 22, 1988, including that...'Stalin and those around him committed genocide against the Ukrainians in 1932–1933,'" it said.

The article says this resolution has actually been around for 30 years, sort of like moving our embassy to Jerusalem has been around for some time. We just never acted on it.

Stalin was from Georgia. A lot of different people actually ran the Communist government. Politburo, Kremlin, etc.
