#History Repeating Itself in #Ukraine #Bykivnia #genocide #russia #shorts #holodomor

During the winter of 1932 and '33, Russian troops were sent into Ukraine to confiscate all the food, something that has come to be known as the Holodomor. In that event, more than four million people died, not from being shot, necessarily, although many people were, but mostly from starvation and exposure. A monument in downtown Kyiv is to commemorate the many children who died – you see a statue of a painfully skinny girl clutching a stalk of wheat. And it has to be mentioned that there are monuments like this all across the country of Ukraine, and if you go to Russia, you are not going to find monuments like this because Ukrainians haven't attacked their neighbors to the East. It's always come this direction.
