‘If you boil a leather belt in water it flavours it and you can then eat it like soup’ — this was a real recipe in Ukrainian households during the Soviet-inflicted genocide of our people 90 years ago.

Every year on the fourth Saturday of November we have the Holodomor remembrance day. We light a candle on our windows to honour the memory of the victims of the Soviet genocide of the Ukrainian people. This year our candles were also lit for the Russian-inflicted genocide of Ukrainians in 2022 as they are currently doing all they can to freeze and starve us to death.

The genocide of Ukrainians was planned, prepared and carried out by Soviet government representatives. There are about 400 archival documents that prove this — the genocidal nature of Holodomor, the intention of Stalin, Molotov, Kaganovich, Postyshev, Chubar, Khatayevych, Kosior to destroy a part of the Ukrainian nation.

This law starved Ukrainian farmers and their families and even punished hungry farmers for collecting crop leftovers from fields. They were either jailed, with all their property confiscated, or killed. That law took away people’s right to have any food. They also blocked any foreign aid that had been generously offered. Overall, the police, GPU and military were watching millions of Ukrainians wasting away and dying from hunger. It was pure terrorism against the Ukrainian people.It’s rather surreal to now, 90 years later, witness the same sort of events unfolding because of one dictator, his government and people brainwashed with non-stop propaganda, ready to kill, torture, starve and rape on demand. Just like they did 90 years ago.
