A major famine claimed millions of lives in the Soviet Union from the fall of 1932 to the summer of 1933. The worst affected was the Ukrainian Socialist Republic, which was called the granary of the Soviet Union and whose agricultural lands were known to be particularly fertile. Natural factors, such as stunting, played a role in the famine. But it was the actions of the Soviet authorities, led by Joseph Stalin, that led to the famine becoming so extensive. In Ukraine, about 3 million people died of starvation; there, the disaster is seen today as a genocide.
The famine of 1932-1933 is known in Ukraine as the Holodomor. The word is a compound of the two Ukrainian words "holod" meaning hunger and "mother" meaning pestilence, and was first used officially in 1988. In a modern encyclopedia of the Ukrainian language, the Holodomor is explained as "artificial famine, organized on a large scale by the criminal regime against the country's population".
The criminal and organized is something that often returns, not least in the law "On the Holodomor in Ukraine" which in 2006 determined that the disaster was a genocide directed against the Ukrainian people, and that the criminal actions of the Soviet regime were directly aimed at killing millions of Ukrainians .
