Holodomor Researcher Makes Course Accessible to the World
Marta Baziuk, who helped create a course on the Holodomor, explains why the famine remains relevant and why the course could only be developed now.
Millions of Ukrainians died in the Holodomor—Stalin's deliberate starvation of Ukraine in 1932–33. Russia calls it a hoax, while replicating its methods in occupied Ukraine. Marta Baziuk, who helped build a course on the Holodomor, explains why the famine matters now and why the course she helped build could only exist now. The course is available online for global audiences. The Holodomor was a man-made famine orchestrated by Stalin's regime against Ukraine, resulting in millions of deaths. Russia denies this genocide, yet employs similar tactics in occupied Ukrainian territories. Baziuk stresses that understanding the Holodomor is crucial to prevent future tragedies. Her course provides an opportunity for everyone to learn about the historical facts and comprehend the impact of this catastrophe on Ukraine and the world.
