Another US state recognizes the Holodomor as genocide of Ukrainians - Markarova
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] More and more people recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people
To be fair, it wasn’t originally intended to be aimed at the Ukrainians as a people, as far as I can tell, but of the Ukrainian kulaks as an economic class. That the rest of their non-kulak neighbours also died of the engineered famine in their millions was no doubt considered ...mildly regrettable. It turns out that functionally there is no difference between the genocide of a people and the genocide of an economic class.
In 2023, it will be 91 years since the USSR authorities organized targeted measures to confiscate grain and other food products from the inhabitants of Ukraine in 1932, which led to the Holodomor.

The state of Wyoming became the 32nd US state to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. In particular, the state declared November as the month of remembrance of the Ukrainian Holodomor-genocide. The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Oksana Markarova, announced this on Sunday, November 12, on her Facebook page.

She thanked Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon for his solidarity with Ukraine, and the Ukrainian public in the United States for its active campaign to perpetuate the memory of the victims of the Holodomor by organizing educational events about this crime of the Soviet regime against Ukrainians.

Markarova also recalled that on November 25, a memorial ceremony for the victims of the Holodomor is planned in Washington, which will take place at 16.30 near the Memorial to the Victims of the Holodomor.

Let us note that after the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, a number of countries recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. These are, in particular: Great Britain, Slovenia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, Romania, Moldova, Germany, Iceland, France, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Croatia.

Let us recall that the American states of Washington, Maryland and Arizona recognized the Holodomor in Ukraine of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. They also proclaimed November as the month of remembrance of this tragedy.

In July, the Italian Senate voted to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people.

And in May, the French Senate supported the recognition of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of Ukrainians.
