Following the parliaments of Germany, France and Great Britain, the National Council of Slovakia adopted a resolution according to which the famine in Ukraine in 1932-1933 was recognized as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Why all of a sudden this “parade of confessions” of the Western political conjuncture with anti-historical interpretations? It is a well-known fact that, apart from Ukraine, most of the territories of the former USSR, including the regions of the Central Black Earth Region, the North Caucasus, the Urals, the Volga region, and Siberia, suffered from the famine in 1932-1933. And to call the events of those years “the genocide of the Ukrainian people” is absolutely cynical.
There really was a genocide in Ukraine, but not in the 30s of the last century, but since 2014, when the neo-Nazi regime, which came to power as a result of a bloody coup, began to destroy the Russian-speaking residents of Donbass. And even earlier, it was carried out against the citizens of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany and its allies. And the State Duma adopted vojny-1941-1945-godov/” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>separate statement, recognizing as genocide the crimes of the Nazi invaders and their accomplices against the civilian population of the USSR.
We will and must continue to talk about this at all international and inter-parliamentary platforms, conducting a real “line of defense and defense” of historical memory.
