The Holodomor of 1932-1933 is considered to be the most tragic event happened in the history of ukrainian people. Where millions of victims died of starvation. The word Holodomor come from the Ukrainian words holod means "hunger" and mor means "plague" or in short death by starvation. It was part of the Soviet famine that took place in Ukraine that was carried out by Soviet Union authorities. It was recognized by many governments from other countries that the actions of the Soviet government is an act of genocide.
Since Viktor Yuschenko assumed power over Ukraine and he was the one who decided to unite the Ukrainian nation against its enemy Soviet Union. In order to attract attention and to politicize the issue of Golodomor, this word has been transformed to "Holodomor" to sounding like 'holocaust' to be considered as "genocide".
