This month, as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his aggression against Ukraine, Ukrainians around the world commemorate the Holodomor, the terror-famine of 1932-1933. The murder of upwards of five million people in Ukraine by Stalin's Communist regime came about from forced collectivization of agriculture, where starving peasants were denied the food that was exported for hard currency.
