At that time from Holodomor died 17 people every minute, 1000 people every hour and almost 25 thousand every day. Most suffered from Holodomor Kharkiv and Kyiv region precedently (now Poltava, Symmu, Kharkiv, Cherkassy, Kyiv, Zhytomyr region). There were died 52,8 %. Death rate exceeds the average level in 8-9 times or more. In Vinnytsia, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk region death rate level was more in 5-6 times. In Donbas death rate was more in 3-4 times. Actually, hunger covered all Centre, South, North and East of modern Ukraine. Hunger observed in such regions of Kuban, Northern Caucasus and Povolzhyc where Ukrainian leaved.
Researches mention different numbers died during the hunger: 5, 7, 9 and 10 million.
But, in any case, it is referred about MILLIONS of innocent victims.
Including the indirect victims (in consequence of complete physical exhaustion, fever, gastrointestinal poisoning, cannibalism, repression, suicide on the grounds of mental and social collapse) hunger killed 14 million people by the approximate computation.
The most perfect statistics unable to convey the depth and magnitude of socio-economic, political, moral and psychological consequences of hunger, terrible tyranny of the authorities and the widespread phenomenon of shame for a people – cannibalism.
Hungry evil, which included districts with a population of over 40 million people and continued nearly two years, not a natural phenomenon, but it is man-made – focused totalitarian government terror hunger is genocide.
The massive physical destruction of Ukrainian farmers by artificial hunger was a deliberate terrorist act of Stalinist political system against civilians, as against the Ukrainian nation and, in particular, against the country-folk as a class. As a result, disappeared not only numerous stratum of wealthy and independent from state the country-folk proprietors, but also generations of the agricultural population. It undermined the social basis of the nation, its traditions, culture and spiritual identity. The main purpose of artificial hunger was undermining the social basis of Ukrainian resistance against the communism and ensures total control of the government by population.
Analysis of the content published during the years 1929-33 about 30 resolutions of the CPSU (b), the People’s Commissars of the USSR and the Soviet Union, the Central Committee of the CP (B) certifies a facts the conscious creation such life conditions for the rural population, two thirds of whom were ethnic Ukrainian who led to their outright physical destruction.
Hunger of 1932-1933 it is intentionally inflicted action. According to documentary sources, the bread was in the Ukraine, but Ukraine took bread.
The documents of the Politburo of the USSR (b) preserved attesting about that in autumn 1932 in Ukraine organized so-called «green trains» for providing the industrial centers food to the October holidays. From Ukraine exported not only seed material, but even pickled cucumbers, cabbage and tomatoes, perhaps leaving people doomed to starvation death.
By order of the government banned any trade in rural villages suspended food supply, prosecuted and punished by 10 years’ imprisonment and execution of any use of corn for wages in areas that have not fulfilled grain procurement plans, introduced a system of fines in kind , trade reprisals.
Deep traces left by the Hunger of 1932-1933 in Ukraine’s history imposed on the trail of other tragedies that have befallen the Ukrainian people in the XX century. Civil war and Hunger years of 1921-1923, repression of 1937-1938, the war of 1941-1945, the German occupation and the Holocaust, 1946-1947 hunger… For anti-Ukrainian orientation and scale applications Hunger of 1932-1933 was the most terrible weapons of mass destruction and social oppression of the country-folk, which used opportunity of the totalitarian rule in Ukraine.
