Holding flickering candles and standing in perfect stillness, thousands of 
Ukrainians gathered on a fog-shrouded square to mourn 10 million compatriots 
who died of starvation during a man-made Soviet-era famine 73 years ago, The 
Associated Press reports.
During the height of the 1932-33 famine, known here as Holodomor, or Death 
by Hunger, 25,000 people died every day, devastating entire villages. Cases 
of cannibalism were widespread as desperation deepened. Those who resisted 
were shot or sent off to Siberia.
"I do not ask, I demand that the Ukrainian parliament recognize Holodomor as 
genocide," President Viktor Yushchenko told the crowd gathered on Kiev's 
Mykhaylivska Square on Saturday in a short address followed by a minute of 
silence and the tolling of bells.
Soviet dictator Josef Stalin provoked the famine in a campaign to force 
peasants to give up their private farms and join collectives. Authorities 
collectivized agriculture throughout the Soviet Union, but farmers in 
Ukraine - known as the breadbasket of the U.S.S.R. - fiercely resisted and 
bore the brunt of the man-made disaster.
Moscow has warned Kiev against using the term genocide, arguing that the 
issue should not be "politicized," and some Ukrainian lawmakers agreed, 
proposing that it be termed a "tragedy" instead.
Russia argues that the orchestrated famine did not specifically target 
Ukrainians and also affected others, including Russians and Kazakhs. But 
historians say that the overwhelming majority of victims were Ukrainians, 
and the famine coincided with Stalin's effort to quash growing Ukrainian 
nationalism.
Yushchenko appealed to Russia to "stand by our side" and recognize the mass 
starvation as genocide. "With this high example, demonstrate the human 
empathy that is inherent to the Russian people," he said.
"How can it be called anything but genocide," said Kateryna Kryvenko, 78, 
who recalled crying at the feet of Soviet officials as they ransacked her 
family's village home, carting off what little food her family had managed 
to hide under a floorboard. Authorities took everything, and Kryvenko's 
father and three brothers and sisters died.
During the Soviet era, the mass starvation was a closely guarded state 
secret, but information trickled out over the years. Ten nations, including 
the United States, have recognized the famine as an act of genocide, defined 
as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political or 
cultural group. Genocide is a crime under international law.
Ukraine's Parliament Speaker Oleksandr Moroz said Saturday that he supports 
recognizing the mass starvation as genocide, and said the president's bill 
would come before parliament this week. Some lawmakers from Prime Minister 
Viktor Yanukovych's Russia-leaning Party of Regions suggested watering it 
down, but party member Taras Chornovil predicted the president's version 
would ultimately pass. Yanukovych joined Yushchenko in Saturday's 
commemorations.
"Those who deny the Holodomor ... hate us, our spirit, our future," 
Yushchenko told the crowd that gathered on the square after a silent 
procession in which marchers carried aloft white banners representing every 
Ukrainian region. Black ribbons were hung from the banners; black ribbons 
were also hung on Ukraine's blue-and-yellow national flag Saturday.
"The tragedy is of such a scale that it is hard to even imagine," said 
Oksana Yatsyuk, 18, as she held a flickering candle - one of 25,000 expected 
to be laid on two Kiev squares to honor the victims. "And to think that one 
man created all this terror, this genocide."
Under Stalin, each village was ordered to provide the state with a quota of 
grain, but the demands typically exceeded crop yields. As village after 
village failed to meet the requirements, they were put on a blacklist. The 
government seized all food and residents were prohibited from leaving - 
effectively condemning them to starvation.
"On behalf of Ukraine, I will insist that the victims of Holodomor be 
recognized as martyrs of one of the biggest catastrophes in the history of 
mankind," Yushchenko said.

 man created all this terror, this genocide."
 Super Stalin con i suoi raggi X

Super Stalin con i suoi raggi X
Sciocchino di un sergio.
Tutti gli storici più accreditati concordano ormai sul fatto che la carestia 
fu direttamente provocata dalla scellerata politica del governo comunista.
Basta leggerli ed informarsi.
PS. Ora naturalmente inizierà il solito teatrino: io che ti cito a 
profusione una serie di storici che sbugiardano completamente le tue goffe 
posizioni negazioniste e tu che ribatti ragliando che sono tutti cialtroni e 
che solo tu sai come sono andate le cose, facendo così la tua consueta 
figura da somaro  :) 

 fu direttamente provocata dalla scellerata politica del governo comunista.
ma ROTFL!!!!!!
come l'hanno provocata sloammuccio? con quali poteri magici Stalin ha
provocato una carestia? su dai spara ancora qualche post di cazzate che
mi stai divertendo assai.

mi stai divertendo assai.
Cosa mi dici di quello che sostiene Moshe Lewin, tanto per cominciare?
Se ti diverti così tanto a fare la figura del somaro, buon per te, hai una 
lunga serie di risate davanti a te 

 Beh, veramente siete tu e lui
no, io con lui ho nulla in comune. Tu invece con il neonazista artamano
hai davvero tanto in comune.
Lo fa ridere la tua vigliaccheria nel negare che sei un fascista?

Ripeto la domanda
