The Holomodor Genocide is that it is an animalistic barbaric mass killing organized by Russia, which until now is unwilling to recognize it; just like they have been unwilling to acknowledge the Udmurt Genocide, the Kalmyk Genocide, and the Crimean Tartar Genocide. The Holomodor Genocide resulted in the passing of 7.7 million Ukrainians who died of starvation.

The Holodomor was a manufactured famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine between 1932 and 1933. It was caused by a combination of factors, including forced collectivization of agriculture, confiscation of grain by Soviet authorities, and the use of food as a weapon to suppress Ukrainian nationalism. The exact number of people who died due to the famine is still a matter of debate among scholars, but estimates range from 2.4 to 7.5 million.
While the Soviet government at the time denied the existence of the famine and suppressed news of it, the Holodomor has since been recognized as a genocide by several countries, including Ukraine, Canada, and Australia. However, Russia has not officially recognized the Holodomor as a genocide and has been accused by some of downplaying or denying its significance.
