From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holodomor (1932-1933) (Ukrainian: Голодомор), was an artificial famine created in the Ukraine by Stalin, which resulted in the starvation deaths of 4.5 to 7 million ethnic Ukrainians. The Holodomor was caused by the government of the Soviet Union under Stalin, rather than by natural causes, and the Holodomor has been declared a genocide by Ukraine and many other countries.[1][2][3][4][5]

The parliament of Ukraine and the governments of 26 other countries have recognized the Holomodor as being an act of genocide.
