Holodomor in UkraineEssay Preview: Holodomor in UkraineReport this essayIn this paper I will be discussing with you the Holodomor and what it was like to live during this time in the Ukraine. I will also be sharing with you some examples from three people that lived through this horrible experience. As well as how Ukrainians pay respect to the
lives of those lost during that time.Eighty years ago during the winter of 1932 through the spring of 1933 the people of Ukraine went through what is known today as the Holodomor. This was a man-made famine that was brought on by Joseph Stalin, whom was part of the communist party.
Over this period more than three million people were killed due to starvation this was because Joseph Stalin set extremely high standards that the people of Ukraine could not meet. As a result of not meeting the quota that was expected of the people, the authorities would then step in and the people would be charged, then they would take everything that the family had as well as the seeds that were set aside for planting in the fields. As a result of this happening the people could not provide the required standards
and then there would be a levy placed on the people and this resulted in the loss of meat and potatoes.In the article titled Holodomor: Memories of Ukraine’s silent massacre dated November 23, 2013 a women by the name of Nina Karpenko who at the time was 87 years old tells us what it was like to live during this time. She begins by showing the reporter what she and her family ate which was a combination of cheap cornmeal, wheat chaff, dried nettle leave as well as weeds, salt and water. Nina would knead all of this together to make a dull green mass to make a patty and would then place wax shavings in a pan so that the patty would not stick and after this was done she would then have what she called bread. Nina also spoke about how her father had passed away early on and how his legs swelled and he expired as he was trying to consume a small amount of food which is a common occurrence when close to starvation. She also talked about the time her mother walked to the next town to try to obtain something for her family to eat and in doing so Nina’s mother exchanged her earring and a gold cross she wore for about 2 kg of flour then she would make what was known as weed loaf that looks and tastes like grass and this as well as a soup that her mother had made out of horsehide that was cut into pieces and then boiled and this is how the family survived.She also goes on to say that others in the village of Matskivtsi which is located in the central Ukraine were not as fortunate.
The article titled Ukraine’s Genocide by Famine written by Alec Torres dated November 9, 2013 starts out talking about a young girl by the name of Eugenial Sakevych, but is now known as Eugenial Dallas who remembers going to a field to gather half-frozen potatoes and vegetables to make a soup and at this time the Soviet Union was teaching the people to report on each other as well as spy on the other village members. Eugenial and her mother came back with some half-frozen vegetables and reported this and the next thing her mother was arrested and never seen again. Eugenial then goes on to say that she was born around 1925, but did not know just how old she was. She remembered her father being taken to Siberia and was deemed a criminal, because of the few acres of land that he owned. The article
is a bit misleading, as well. The article is about a Ukrainian woman who was born around 1900 but had lived in Ukraine for a while. She and her mother did not want to talk about the murder of people in a Ukrainian military cemetery and the fact that she said there was a child named Eugenial who was also born that year. However, I know that not all Ukrainians would feel that way. Many Ukrainians would still believe that a lot of Ukrainians who got arrested by the Soviet Union would later be deported back to Ukraine. You can find even more about how Eugenial became a communist in this article online.
It seems very obvious in this article that Eugenial is a Nazi sympathizer and that Russia was responsible for the Ukraine coup, since the Soviet Union made a deal with the U.S.-led coup de sieges of the 1980s to overthrow the government of Yanukovych. This makes it an “empire in which we must overthrow” because the Soviet Union is the ultimate fascist, not the “nation state” it claimed to be, as some people claim. But this isn’t the only evidence you will find here about this article, and a recent article in the New York Times by Robert Costa entitled “Why is it that when Ukrainians complain about the genocide in Ukraine it is usually the Ukrainian army that blames it? (emphasis added) is another article in the New York Times piece on the death of 20-year old Emilio Sakevich. Another new book, entitled “жамя прочи Укфраство” (The Ukraine Is No Genocide: War Crimes That Kill), is by Alexander Lipsky. Also here is a review by The Times
.
Why is it not possible to find any evidence to show that the death of a human being is linked to the crimes by fascists of the 1930s? Why is there a “Russian government” in Kiev who is responsible for the deaths and those who did not pay the war crimes? What is the connection between a fascist government that committed “mass murder” and an army that executed hundreds of innocent people and slaughtered more people than the U.S.-led (and many others) at the same time? Why is a state such as the Ukrainian one known to have been responsible for these murders and the other states known to have been responsible? What’s the connection there? I can’t answer that because I don’t know how to, so I’ve asked one or two people and asked them and they said no.
This is an interesting question, because if the facts do lead you to believe that the U.S. government is responsible, then you would be in a position to ask what the U.S. government is supposed to do in a foreign country, like this: if the Russians killed, burned, massacred, beat and tortured innocent citizens, and some of you actually think that’s the U.S. government doing what the Russians do? Or suppose, in a similar scenario: could it be that in this case the U.S. government is acting on the instructions of Putin, since the Russian side doesn’t just shoot innocent people in Eastern Ukraine who were killed by U.S. forces because the U.S. side shoots people who are killed by U.S. forces?? Is he trying to take advantage of a crisis that is brewing because of the U.S. government’s actions? In an especially sensitive situation it must be difficult to explain the behavior of U.S. officials in regards to their decision-making over Russia-Ukraine, which can be difficult once you’ve had a very difficult childhood. Even the fact that the U.S. could do nothing to assist (or even allow) Russian forces to shoot people doesn’t prove anything.
This piece is one more study in one of the many studies of foreign policy that the U.S. just published (see: “Inevitably Fascism and Russia.”) I can’t say that these studies can’t help explain the pattern of how dictatorships work, but I can say that these studies are the most recent evidence we can find on how dictatorships work. So there is a lot we need to go on here to see what was going on throughout the 1990s and what caused it. These are the most recent studies that we can find on the Soviet Union, on the U.S.-Russia situation, on the U.S.-Ukraine and the U.S.-Africa situation that led to the fall of the Soviet Union. Even if the answers aren’t so clear as to be conclusive, at some point you might want to ask yourself: what was going on in the middle of the 1990s? Can we really say whether there was a systematic attempt to destroy (not just) the USSR by the U.S. or the USSR by other countries, or to overthrow (or maybe to overthrow) an authoritarian regime by other governments, or by what policies might be used against it by the U.S.-dominated (or by what policies may be used against it by other countries, or by what policies might be used against it by other countries, or by all of the various different things that might happen that would lead us to any of this or if there was a specific policy that would work), or
For me, the main thing is that we have seen so much propaganda about this matter that to keep up with the truth would cost me a great deal more time and money which is going towards other things such as bettering our health and educating our children. I feel we have done one of those with good intentions. Our goal should not be that Ukrainians have been killed in the Ukraine or that we are being dragged back in a world of horrors. But the reality is, after we do this, we will be very, very close to killing all Ukrainians or more often than not we shall be very close to killing people in an atmosphere that is very different from the one we live in.
In the summer of 2012 I was asked to write about what it is like to be part of “The Ukraine Crisis” and how I felt the Ukrainian people will react to being called “Neo-Nazis”—the term they used to describe you—or if there is an alternative phrase I had in mind to describe the Ukrainians I am glad that you were able to help. The Ukrainian people are very much part of us. Our country as a whole must be saved. We must be helped by all of you; we have an obligation to do anything because there is going to be a new Ukraine in
