7 million Ukrainians were starved to death
• The Famine was artificially induced by the Soviet regime.
• It was an act of genocide designed to undermine the social
basis of Ukrainian national resistance.
• At the height of the Famine,
Ukrainian villagers were dying at the rate of
25,000 per day,
1,000 per hour,
17 per minute.
At the same time the Soviet regime was dumping
1.7 million tons of grain on Western markets.
