We invite you to a public conversation with the historian Kateryna Lukyanets

On Saturday, November 16, 2024, the Museum will host a public conversation titled “Sharp Questions about the Holodomor.”

The memory of the Holodomor is a constant object of attack by Russian propaganda. In contrast to the Soviet period, when the Kremlin strictly denied the fact of the Holodomor, today, the Russian propaganda machine tries to belittle and downplay the genocidal nature of the crime, manipulating facts and complex issues, their interpretation.

Of course, like any historical event, the Holodomor has complex issues that require professional analysis. For Ukrainians to have knowledge and arguments that do not leave the aggressor room for manipulation and object to the Holodomor history, the Museum is organising a public conversation with Kateryna Lukyanets, a PhD in History and a researcher at the Department of Holodomor and Mass Man-made Famines Research Department.

Was it really “famine everywhere,” as the Russians claim? Why was the genocide directed against Ukrainians as a nation and not as a social group? Why do not we call the mass man-made famines of 1921-1923 and 1946-1947 the term “Holodomor”?

Given the heightened public interest in Ukrainian history, this event is essential to enrich the information landscape with solid arguments and logical explanations that dismantle Russian manipulative traps surrounding the history of the Holodomor.

Andrii Ivanets, a senior researcher at the Holodomor Museum with a PhD in History, will moderate the discussion.

When: Saturday, November 16 at 3:00 p.m

Where: Hall of Memory of the National Museum of the Holodomor genocide (Kyiv, 3 Lavrska Str, Arsenalna Underground Station)

Fee: at the price of an entrance ticket (30 UAH, students/pensioners – 20 UAH)
