On 22 November 2025, Ukraine marks Holodomor Commemoration Day, remembering millions killed in the 1932–33 famine engineered by Stalin. “Death solves all problems. No human, no problem,” said Joseph Stalin.

Up to 7 million people died—28,000 each day—as Soviet authorities seized grain, kept reserves, exported food, and enforced the “Law of Spikelets,” executing starving people for gathering leftovers.

The Soviet regime denied the famine then; Russia continues to deny today.
