Dynamics of attitude to the Holodomor: November 2014
- According to a survey conducted by Rating Group in November 2014, the majority of Ukrainians (72%) agree with the statement that the Holodomor of 1932–33 was a genocide of the Ukrainian people, while 15% disagree, and 14% are undecided.
- It should be noted that over the past five years the highest share of respondents who consider the Holodomor to be genocide has been recorded. According to Rating Group surveys, this share was 61% in 2010, 58% in 2011, 59% in 2012, 66% in 2013, and 72% in 2014. At the same time, the share of those who do not recognize the Holodomor as genocide decreased from 25% to 15% between 2010 and 2013.
- Currently, the statement that the Holodomor of 1932–33 was a genocide of the Ukrainian people is supported by the majority of respondents across all regions, including Donbas. However, it should be noted that previous national studies on this topic included Crimea and parts of Donbas that are currently not controlled by the Ukrainian government.
- All age groups support this statement, and the higher the level of education and income, the higher the level of support. Among respondents whose native language is Ukrainian, nearly 90% support this statement, while among those who consider Russian their native language, about half support it.
