An Exhibition of Ukrainian Contemporary Art "Holodomor. Genocide 32/33" Takes Place in Warsaw

The Nizio gallery in Warsaw is hosting a showcase by Ukrainian artists commemorating the 90th anniversary of the artificially induced famine by the Soviet authorities in Ukraine during 1932-1933.

This was reported by the Embassy of Poland in Ukraine.

The presented works attempt to reinterpret the tragedy of the genocide crime organized by the Kremlin on the Ukrainian territory, known as the Holodomor of 1932-33, from various corners of Ukraine.

"This exhibition is about pain and sorrow. It is also about the evil that was never properly punished. Impunity kills again. Evil resurrects in the form of a new genocide committed by the heir of the Stalinist regime - the Russian Federation. Russia, attempting to erase the Ukrainian nation. To destroy our freedom and democracy," emphasized Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Vasyl Zvarych during the exhibition's opening.

Diplomats from various countries, representatives of the Ukrainian community in Poland, and cultural institutions in Warsaw attended the exhibition.

During the opening, violinist Kateryna Stetsenko and pianist Alina Martynova from the "Hope" symphony orchestra in Kharkiv, Ukraine, performed pieces by the globally renowned Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk.

Every year on November 25, Ukraine commemorates the Day of Remembrance for the victims of the 1932-33 Holodomor, one of the most tragic periods in Ukrainian history.

During 1932-1933, the Soviet authorities attempted to change private property to "collective." People were forcibly involved in collective farms, "kolkhozes." Ukrainians, rooted in a system of private ownership, began protesting Moscow's actions. In response, Stalin ordered the complete confiscation of grain, cereals, food products, and livestock on the territory of Ukraine. The movement of Ukrainians from their places of residence was blocked.

As a result of Moscow's criminal actions, people began to die en masse from hunger. According to various estimates, during this period, from five to ten million people died in Ukraine. At the same time, the exact number of victims remains uncertain as the Kremlin carefully concealed and falsified facts about its genocidal policy towards Ukrainians.

Recall that The Gaze previously reported that representatives of the European Union and 55 member countries of the United Nations supported Ukraine's declaration on the Holodomor at the UN.
