Ukraine: “Russia will pay for Stalin’s famine and its current crimes,” said Zelensky’s chief of staff

Clear message that Russia will “pay” for famine in Ukraine the period of the Soviet Union which left millions dead in the winter of 1932-33 and will be held accountable for its current “crimes” in war sent Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Germak.

“The Russians will pay for all the victims of Golondom and answer for today’s crimes”points out Andriy Germak in a Telegram post, referring to the 1932-33 famine imposed by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s Russian leadership, known as the Golondomor, when millions of Ukrainians starved to death.

Today is the day of remembrance for the victims of Golondomor in Ukraine.

In November 1932, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin sent police to confiscate all grain and livestock from neo-collectivized Ukrainian farms, including seeds needed to plant the next crop.

Millions of Ukrainian peasants starved to death in the following months in what Yale University historian Timothy Snyder has called “clearly premeditated mass murder.”
