We invite you to the presentation of the “Glossary of the Holodomor”
On November 20, the Holodomor Museum will host the presentation of the scientific publication “Glossary of the Holodomor.”
Speakers of the presentation:
Lesia HASYDZHAK – Director General of the National Museum of Holodomor Genocide, Candidate of Historical Sciences;
Natalia ROMANETS – senior researcher of the Holodomor and mass man-made famine research department of the Holodomor Museum, professor, doctor of historical sciences;
Andrii KOZYTSKYI – senior researcher of the Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Research Department of the Holodomor Museum, Candidate of Historical Sciences.
In the 1930s, during the collectivization and Holodomor period, numerous new concepts and terms emerged that define this historical time. We are all familiar with terms like “torgsins,” “chervoni valky,” “black boards,” “trudodni,” and “troikas.” However, how and why did these terms come about? What do they mean, and to which specific historical events should they be applied? The answers to these questions can be found in the Holodomor Glossary.
The publication includes terms, proper names, designations of historical, ethnographic, socio-political, and other realities, as well as phraseological Sovietisms related to the preparation, course, and consequences of the Holodomor-genocide of 1932-1933, organized in Ukraine by the communist regime of the Kremlin. Each of the 116 terms has a separate article providing concise information that explains its essence. These articles are enhanced with illustrations, scanned documents, and publications from that period.
The book was created by a team of scholars from the National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide, which includes Dmytro Baikenich, Andrii Kozytskyi, Olga Movchan, Natalia Romanets, and Inna Shuhalova. The compiler of the publication is Dr. Natalia Romanets, a doctor of historical sciences and professor. This publication will appeal to a broad audience, including teachers, local historians, tour guides, journalists, students, and anyone interested in the history of Ukraine.
