The Holodomor: The Soviet-engineered famine in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 killed an estimated 3 to 5 million people. Stalin’s regime seized grain and food supplies to enforce collectivization and crush Ukrainian nationalism. While widely recognized today as a genocide, the Soviet Union denied the famine’s existence, censoring reports and imprisoning journalists like Gareth Jones who exposed it. Western media and governments downplayed or ignored it due to diplomatic relations. The cover-up lasted decades, with Ukraine only gaining widespread recognition of the Holodomor as genocide in the 21st century, highlighting the power of state propaganda.
