This is a very sad photo of starvation genocied in Ukraine.A Man-Made Famine raged through Ukraine, the ethnic-Ukrainian region of northern Caucasus (i.e. Kuban), and the lower Volga River region in 1932-33. This resulted in the death of between 7 to 10 million people, mainly Ukrainians. This was instigated by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and his henchman Lazar Kaganovich. The main goal of this artificial famine was to break the spirit of the Ukrainian farmer/peasant and to force them into collectivization. The famine was also used as an effective tool to break the renaissance of Ukrainian culture that was occuring under approval of the communist government in Ukraine. Moscow perceived this as a threat to a Russo-Centric Soviet rule and therefore acted to crush this cultural renaissance in a most brutal manner. The famine/genocide also had the added "benefit" to ethnically cleanse Ukrainians from vast territories.
This is a sad video about the Starvation Genocied in Ukraine.

I had never ever heard of this genocide so i thought it was quite interesting to learn about it. I think you should have put more information about the time that it happened in to give us more of an idea what it was about. I also would have liked to known how they started the genocide and how they starved the people.
This is a very sad picture. I think that was wrong. Genocide I do not like. when people are treated so badly.
