 The Holodomor is one of the most horrifying tragedies in the history of the Ukrainian people. In 1932-1933, intentionally organized by the Soviet authorities, over 4 million Ukrainians, or 13% of the population, perished due to famine. References to the "great famine" can be found in almost every family. What was and what is the current attitude toward this painful topic among the contemporary population of the country? Here is the Dynamics of Attitudes towards the Holodomor of 1932-1933 from the Sociological Group "Rating.
