The Holodomor (, literal translation "Death by hunger") was a famine in the Ukrainian SSR and adjacent Cossack territories between 1932 and 1933, in which millions of Ukrainians died from starvation. Opinions and beliefs about the Holodomor vary widely among nations: the event is considered a genocide by Ukraine and fifteen out of 195 other nations, a crime against humanity by the European Parliament, and part of the wider Soviet famine by the Russian Federation.
