Holodomor Truth

First of all the word “Golodomor” have been transformed into “Holodomor” to make it sounds like “holocaust”, and therefore, could be considered as “genocide”. The origins of the word “holodomor” came from the Ukrainian words “holod” means “hunger” and "mor" means “plague”, or “to inflict death by hunger”. Now, what is holodomor? Holodomor is the famine that took place in Soviet Ukraine during the 1932-1933 agricultural seasons when the devastating famines also took place in several other regions of the USSR. It is considered one of the greatest national calamities to affect the Ukrainian nation in modern history. I can’t imagine this devastating disaster in the Soviet Union, in which there are about 6-8 million peasants deaths from Central Russia, Kazhastan, Ukraine, and North Causasus. Do you consider the Golodomor as genocide? Well, It maybe “no” or it may be “yes”. It says the reasons of the famine are the subject of intense scholarly and political debate, some historians considered it as an attack on Ukrainian nationalism while others said it was unintended consequence of the economic problems especially during the period of Soviet industrialization. On March 2008 the parliament of Ukraine and the governments of several countries have recognized the Soviet policies that caused the famine as an act of “genocide”. But, however, on October 2008 the European parliament during its resolution rejected to call the famine as “an act of genocide”. Which is the truth?
