PUBLIC TALK: The Stalin Famine in Ukraine (1932-1933)
|
|
A public lecture by Professor Serhiy Kvit, President, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA), Ukraine.
In 2005 the Orange Revolution in Ukraine made international headlines, with the streets of Kyiv teeming with people protesting the result of a presidential election that seemed far from democratic. The Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33, known as the Holodomor, or Stalin Famine, was a man-made famine, that some historians have estimated cost the lives of seven million people. Unknown to many in the West, the headquarters and spiritual nerve-centre for this protest movement was the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA). This lecture will discuss the role of this institution in the context of the famine.
