90th anniversary of the Holodomor-genocide
In 2022–2023, Ukraine commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor genocide. We remember this sad date today in the realities of the new struggle for the survival of the Ukrainian nation. 90 years after the Holodomor genocide committed on the territory of Ukraine, Russia is committing a new genocide – war. The eternal enemy is again trying to “denationalize” and suppress us so as not to let us out of its influence and prevent the strengthening of Ukrainian statehood. The methods of the latest Putin regime differ little from Stalin’s: murder, terror with hunger and cold, intimidation, and deportation.
The Ukrainian nation courageously opposes a much larger enemy. We have no other choice but to persevere. Otherwise, history will throw Ukrainians to a new round of already passed tests. We remember the lessons of the past and do not want to return to the “prison of nations”. It is national memory that makes us stronger and gives us strength for further struggle.
The National Museum of the Holodomor-genocide, as a centre of commemoration of the Holodomor victims, has prepared a number of exhibitions, and scientific, educational and artistic events for the 90th anniversary of the tragedy.
We invite you to join the commemoration of the Holodomor victims in November 2022.
