[REGNUM] Immediately after Halloween comes the traditional time of the famine, and the American state of Wyoming in November, following Washington, Maryland and Arizona, became the 32nd state to recognize the famine of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. Now here, too, something will be done on the last Saturday of November in memory of those who were not of any interest to the United States at all until the end of the 80s. And even more than that, until 2017–2018, when a wave of recognition began to spread across the states: it was necessary to intensify the work that led Ukraine to today’s results.

#4  It is true that the Soviets persecuted lots of people, confiscated land, equipment and food from lots of people.

However, Ukraine had the best lands for agriculture anywhere in the Soviet empire and the population of Ukraine was heavily populated compared with other parts of the Soviet Uunion.

#1  But here's the thing British (Welsh) journalist Gareth Jones has never written about the famine in Ukraine. He talked about famine throughout the USSR..

Moreover, at the time Galicia - which is the principal seat of Ukrainian Nationalism - was in Poland.

p.s. Famines in Austrian Galicia were a common occurrence, particularly in the mid to late 19th century, as Galicia became heavily overpopulated. Triggered primarily by natural disasters such as floods and blights, famines, compounded by overpopulation, led to starvation, widespread malnutrition, epidemics, poverty, an average of 50,000 deaths a year, and from the 1870s to the beginning of World War I, emigration.
