Ukrainian 1932-1933 Famine

In 1932, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin's program for collectivizing all Soviet agriculture met with resistance in the Ukraine so he decided to purge the intelligentsia and leadership while starving the population. Influential citizens were arrested and executed. Grain harvests were confiscated and people starved to death. Anyone who appeared healthy was accused of hoarding grain and executed. By the end of 1933, the Ukraine was properly collectivized and the famine was pronounced a "great success" by one of Stalin's lieutenants. Over six million Ukrainians died.

The 1932-1933 genocide that occurred in the Ukraine is only one of many atrocities caused by communism. Communism requires the murder of multitudes of people. Think about it the next time you see International A.N.S.W.E.R. protesters. It is closely affiliated with the Workers World Party which is communist and dedicated to the overthrowing of capitalism, democracy, and the American way of life. There are many other, similar groups who spew socialism, Marxism, and communism. Watch CNN. These groups star in many news programs. They are all around us. And think about the murdered Ukrainians while you're at it.

To commemorate the millions of Ukrainians who died because Stalin starved them to death for the sake of communism, a candlelight vigil will be held tomorrow by the Ukrainian Community of Greater Cleveland. It is scheduled for 5:30pm outside the Ukrainian Museum-Archives, 1202 Kenilworth Ave., across from Lincoln Park in Tremont.
