The Ukrainian Embassy in Moldova has presented in Chisinau the resolution on the commemoration of the victims of the Great Famine (Holodomor) of 1932-1933 in Ukraine, which was adopted at the 34th session of the UNESCO General Conference. According to Ambassador Serghei Pirojkov, the document is the first international resolution that stipulates the word Holodomor (Great Famine). The word is significantly different in meaning from the term ‘starvation’ and describes the events of 1932-1933 as famine artificially organized by the totalitarian Stalinist regime, the Ukrainian Ambassador said. About 7-10 mln people died during the organized famine in Ukraine as well as in the regions of Kubani, North Caucasus and Povoljie. The tragedy also affected the population of the Moldovan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (RASS), which was then a component part of Ukraine, Serghei Pirojkov said. In this connection, the Ukrainian Ambassador expressed his gratitude to the Republic of Moldova, which recognized the Holodomor as national tragedy of the Ukrainian people, alongside 64 states, in a join statement issued by the UN General Assembly in 2003. Historians in Chisinau consider that over 220,000 people from the RASS, mostly children, died from starvation as a result of the criminal policy promoted by the Communist regime during 1946-1947. The Moldovan Parliament has not yet condemned the Communist crimes as recommended in the PACE resolution of 2006, which firmly denounces the massive violations of the human rights by the totalitarian regimes and pays homage to their victims. The millions of Ukrainians that died during the organized famine in 1932-1933 will be commemorated in Ukraine and other states of the world on November 24, when it will be 75 years of the start of the event.
