Famine-Genocide in Ukraine Memorial Inaugurated in Hungary
A memorial dedicated to victims of the 1932-1933 famine-genocide in Ukraine (Holodomor) was inaugurated by foreign ministry state secretary Levente Magyar in Szeged, in southern Hungary, on Friday.
Magyar called the Holodomor an extreme example of the many hardships Ukraine had to endure in the past century, with the Soviets trying to break its people by means of a man-made famine in 1932-1933. It was no accident that Stalin saw Ukrainians as a chief enemy, considering that they were a proud and freedom-loving nation that posed a threat to the Soviet Union, he said adding that the Soviets wanted to destroy the main representatives of Ukraine’s national consciousness: its independent peasantry.
Hungary has always been supportive of Ukraine, and promotes the building of a nation if it is done with respect to the rights of others and not against them, Magyar said. History has shown that the people of Ukraine have been strong enough not to turn against others when they wanted to strengthen their national self-consciousness, he said.

Virginia becomes 18th US state to recognize Holodomor as genocide
The U.S. state of Virginia has recognized the Holodomor – Joseph Stalin’s deliberate starvation of 4 million Ukrainians from 1932-1933 – as genocide in a document made public by the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States on Nov. 7.
“Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and his totalitarian regime committed an act of genocide through the implementation of an engineered famine by confiscating land, grain, and animals from the Ukrainian people,” the Certificate of Recognition states, signed by Virginia Governor Ralph S. Northam.
The White House has also noted the deliberate nature of the Holodomor in the Presidential Message issued on Nov. 7, the U.S. National Day for the Victims of Communism.
“Communism subordinates inherent human rights to the purported well-being of all, resulting in the extermination of religious freedom, private property, free speech, and, far too often, life. These horrors have included Ukrainians deliberately starved in the Holodomor, Russians purged in the Great Terror, Cambodians murdered in the killing fields, and Berliners shot as they tried to escape to freedom,” the Presidential Message states.
Virginia is the 18th U.S. state to recognize the Holodomor as genocide, following the lead of the State of Washington, which on May 22, 2017 approved the first resolution, drafted by state senator Mark Miloscia.
Ukrainian diaspora in America, numbering more than 1 million people, lobbied the adoption of the document.
On the congressional level, the U.S. Senate had unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution on Oct. 4, 2018 that designated the Holodomor as the Stalin’s regime genocide and condemned the systematic violations of human rights by the Soviet government against the Ukrainian people.
The Holodomor Remembrance Day in Ukraine is held on the last Saturday in November, this year falling on Nov. 24.
