A part of the Soviet famine of 1932-1933. 's message, "" on 27/11/10 1:52:52 Etymology The word "Holodomor" literally translated from Ukrainian means "death by hunger," or "to kill by hunger, to starve to death."[30][31] The word may have been first used in print as early as 1978 by Ukrainian immigrant organizations in the United States and Canada.[32][33][34] The term may have been first publicly used in the Soviet Union in February 1988, in a speech by Oleksiy Musiyenko, Deputy Secretary for ideological matters of the party organization of the Kiev branch of the Union of Soviet Writers in Ukraine,[35][36] and may have first appeared in print in the Soviet Union on July 18, 1988, in his article on the topic.[37] In Ukrainian the word holod means "hunger", and mor means "plague". The expression moryty holodom means "to inflict death by hunger." The Ukrainian verb "moryty" (ìîðèòè) means "to poison somebody, drive to exhaustion or to torment somebody". The perfect form of the verb "moryty" is "zamoryty" — "kill or drive to death by hunger, exhausting work". The word “Holodomor” is given in the modern, two-volume dictionary of the Ukrainian language as "artificial hunger, organised in vast scale by the criminal regime against the country's population."[38] Sometimes the expression is translated into English as "murder by hunger or starvation."[39] [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
