BACON, Mr. FITZPATRICK, Mr. MOYLAN, Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania, 
Mr. SORENSEN, Mr. GIMENEZ, and Mr. COSTA) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Ukrainian famine of 1932–1933, known as the 
Holodomor, is recognized as a genocide and should serve 
as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the 
people of Ukraine. 
Whereas, in 1932 and 1933, millions of Ukrainians perished 
from a famine engineered by the former Soviet Union, 
designed to break the Ukrainian’s resistance to Com-
munist occupation and to provide a cover for a campaign 
of repression and persecution carried out by the Soviet 
Union against the citizens and culture of Ukraine;

Whereas Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin ordered the borders of 
Ukraine sealed to prevent anyone from escaping the man-
made starvation and to prevent the delivery of any inter-
national food aid that would provide relief to the starv-
ing; 
Whereas the Soviet Union forced the people of Ukraine to re-
linquish their land, personal property, and housing to col-
lective farms and then confiscated grain harvests, starv-
ing the men, women, and children of Ukraine; 
Whereas nearly a quarter of Ukraine’s rural population per-
ished or were forced into exile due to the induced starva-
tion, and the entire nation suffered from the con-
sequences of the prolonged famine; 
Whereas the Government of Ukraine and the Ukrainian com-
munities in the United States and worldwide continue 
their efforts to secure awareness and understanding of 
the 1932–1933 tragedy; 
Whereas the Commission on the Ukraine Famine, Investiga-
tion of the Ukrainian Famine 1932–1933: Report to 
Congress, adopted by the Commission, April 19, 1988, 
and submitted to Congress April 22, 1988, found that in 
1932 and 1933, the Government of the Soviet Union had 
committed genocide against the Ukrainian people; and 
Whereas victims of the Holodomor genocide of 1932–1933 
continue to be remembered: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

1933, known as the Holodomor, as a genocide; 
(2) solemnly remembers the atrocities of the 
Holodomor of 1932–1933, and extends its deepest

sympathies to the victims, survivors, and families of 
this tragedy; 
(3) condemns the systematic violations of 
human rights, including the starvation, repression, 
and persecution of the Ukrainian people by the So-
viet Union; 
(4) encourages dissemination of information re-
garding the Holodomor of 1932–1933 in order to in-
crease an understanding of the Soviet-engineered 
genocide denied by the Kremlin for more than half 
a century; 
(5) condemns Vladimir Putin’s brutal and 
unprovoked war in Ukraine and his repeated public 
rejections of the existence of a Ukrainian people and 
a sovereign Ukraine; and 
(6) strongly supports efforts to advance the 
path to a lasting peace in Ukraine and deter future 
Russian aggression.
