Millions of victims

In 1932 and 1933, about 3.5 million Ukrainians became victims of the war.Holodomor(Ukrainian extermination by famine), organized by the regime of Joseph Stalin. The harvest was confiscated in the name of the collectivization of the land, leaving millions of people without food.

This famine is included “in the list of inhuman crimes committed by totalitarian systems, because of which millions of human lives disappeared in Europe, especially in the first half of the twentieth century,” the resolution says.

The description of “genocide” has a special character in the midst of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Deputy environmentalist Robin Wagener, one of the proponents of the text, confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is part of “Stalin’s cruel and criminal tradition” and added that the qualification “Holodomorbecause genocide is a “warning sign”.

Ukraine For years, he campaigned to have the famine of the 1930s recognized as genocide.

Russia He rejects this label, stating that the great famine that hit the Soviet Union in the early 1930s resulted in casualties not only among Ukrainians, but also among Russians, Kazakhs, Volga Germans, and others.

Pope Francis also referred to this mass crime on November 23 using the term “genocide”.

“We pray for the victims of this genocide and for so many Ukrainians, children, women, old people and babies who today are martyred by aggression,” said the Supreme Pontiff from the Vatican.

German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz and his foreign minister, environmentalist Annalen Berbock, said Friday through their representatives that they support the term “genocide”.
