Holodomor


shed a tear for the horror show holodomor years millions in the Ukraine perished slow death extreme pain enforced starvation to gain control of a nation by extermination see them starving in the streets mismanaged agricrops switched grain for sugarbeets and cotton grains left on the stem until rotten an atrocity forgotten desperate mothers at train stations offer up emaciated children to travelling strangers last hope to redeem them from the dangers 'only the good die young' they say those who refuse to steal prostitute themselves or eat their neighbour after forced to trade their farms for a life of slave labour cannabilism becomes rife an atrocity of the 1930's rarely spoken of anymore took the lives of 3-7million known as the holodomor
