The publication “Holodomor: Main Facts” is freely available in Modern Greek
In 2024, the Holodomor Museum launched an international project called “Truth is Nearby.” The project aims to convey historical truth to foreigners in their native language. As part of the project, the museum’s researchers prepared the publication “Holodomor: Main Facts,” which summarises the key historical facts about the Soviet occupation of Ukraine and the crime of genocide committed by the Russians against the Ukrainian people in 1932–1933. The brochure was published in Ukrainian, English, German, and French.
Later, in response to an appeal by the museum’s general director, Lesia Hasydzhak, the brochure “Holodomor: Main Facts” was translated into the languages of countries that have not only not recognised the Holodomor as genocide but are also often strongly influenced by pro-Russian historical narratives.
Therefore, thanks to the generosity of volunteers, the text of the brochure has been translated into Bulgarian, Turkish, Serbian, Romanian, Modern Greek, and Spanish. Translation into Italian and Swedish is ongoing, as well as the layout of the finished translations.
Today we are publishing the first layout of the brochure in the open access – in Modern Greek.
Ms Kira Vereshchahina and Mr Athanasios Stamatis worked on the translation.
The layout is available for free download and printing for its intended use. If you inform us about how you used it, we would greatly appreciate it and write about you.
We invite all those who are interested to translate the publication into other languages! We will be grateful for help with printing and distribution among scientific institutions in other countries.
The brochure “Holodomor: Main Facts” (authors – Doctor of Historical Sciences Mykhailo Kostiv and Doctor of Historical Sciences Andrii Kozytskyi) in Ukrainian, English, German and French can be purchased at the museum’s ticket office. See how to purchase online here.
