After turning ukraine into a famine territory, the regime cut off all the ways to salvation Only ukrainian and kuban farmers were forbidden to travel to cities in russia and belarus They physically locked 22,4 million people within the territory of the holodomor. Caused by the radical changes of soviet industrialization, it was utilized by the soviet authorities to suppress ukrainian nationalism The term “holodomor” means “death by starvation” or “killing by starvation” in ukrainian.
In june of 1933, at the height of the holodomor, 28,000 men, women and children in ukraine were dying of starvation each day Ambitious, meticulously researched, and lucidly written, the harvest of sorrow is a deeply moving testament to those who died, and will register in the western consciousness a sense of the dark side of this century's history.
