**Russian Occupiers Try to Erase Holodomor Memory**
The Russian authorities in Ukraine are trying to silence the memory of the Holodomor, a famine that killed millions of Ukrainians. They want to erase any signs of mourning on November 23rd, which is the Holodomor Memorial Day.
According to the Center for National Resistance, the Russians are urging people to report anyone who lights candles or shows other signs of sadness on this day. The Holodomor was a famine that happened in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. It was caused by extreme grain policies implemented by Joseph Stalin, which led to widespread starvation.
**The Holodomor: A Devastating Event**
The Holodomor is considered one of the most devastating events in Ukrainian history. Millions of Ukrainians died due to this artificial famine. In 2006, Ukraine officially recognized the Holodomor as genocide against its people. Many countries around the world have also recognized it as such.
**Ukrainians Will Not Forget**
The Center for National Resistance says that the Russians’ efforts to erase the memory of the Holodomor are futile. Ukrainians value their lives and the lives of their compatriots more than the Russians do. The organization emphasizes that this cultural difference makes the Russian’s efforts useless.
**International Recognition**
Over 30 countries have recognized the Holodomor as genocide. Recently, Switzerland also joined in recognizing it as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people. The European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe have passed resolutions recognizing the Holodomor as genocide.
