The Holodomor Museum invites you to the exhibition for the Independence Day of Ukraine

On August 27, the Holodomor Museum launched the exhibition and informational project “WHY DOES RUSSIA STEAL GRAIN? (NOT) A NEW HISTORY OF CRIME”, dedicated to the Independence Day of Ukraine.

The project tells about the price of freedom and independence and the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation throughout the ages, including in the modern war.

At the stands, you can see archival photos from the Holodomor era and images of the modern war, familiarize yourself with historical facts that explain the causes and consequences of Moscow’s genocidal policy, learn about the importance of Ukrainian grain in the world and why Russia is again resorting to intimidating with famine.

“The aggressor country – Russia – has been destroying the Ukrainian people for over 100 years. I am personally a living witness to that! First, the Holodomor-genocide of 1932-1933 was artificially created. Then came the Second World War. And now, at the age of 97, I have to hide in basements from the daily mass shelling of the Russian army. The enemy mercilessly kills our soldiers and volunteers, Ukrainian children, men and women!

But I am sure that Victory is ours because we live on our LAND. UKRAINE is a powerful country, and we are a strong, courageous and enduring people.

Glory to Ukraine!

Death to the Russian occupiers!” – the words of Holodomor witness Oleksandra Leontieva from Mykolaiv at one of the exhibition stands.
