Holodomor

I came across an interesting movie on Hulu tonight. In light of the war between the Ukraine and Russia, there is also a little-known historical incident that happened between the two countries.

'Holodomor' was instituted by Joseph Stalin against the Ukraine. The movie, 'Bitter Harvest' tells that story. Between 7 to 10 million people died because of Stalin's actions.

I'd never heard of this. But then again, few have since it just came to light in 1991. A really sad tale of genocide.
