As Putin Annexes Ukrainian Territories, Remember the Soviets’ Holodomor Massacre

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin just annexed four Ukrainian territories, soon after threatening nuclear war. Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are now part of Russia, Putin says.

I can understand the frustration with the Ukrainian war here at home, as America spends billions of dollars funding the Ukrainian war effort while Americans suffer. The worst sufferers in the war are the Ukrainian people, caught between their own corrupt government and its feckless allies on the one hand, and a dictatorship aspiring to restore the Soviet empire on the other hand.

You have heard of the Holocaust, but have you heard of the Holodomor? Holodomor comes from two Ukrainian words meaning “hunger” and “extermination.” And that’s exactly what it was—deliberate extermination of Ukrainians by their Soviet Russian tyrants.

One testimony about Holodomor said:

“In Poltavka region, near Kyiv, there were also villages where everyone died. They have sent Russians to the place. They did not resettle Ukrainians from other place there, but real [ethnic] Russians.”
