On the fourth Saturday of every November, Ukrainians globally commemorate the Holodomor<\/a>, an artificial famine instigated by Stalin, that resulted in the starvation of millions of Ukrainians in 1932\u201333. The Holodomor became one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century. It was a crime of genocide and a targeted attempt to destroy Ukrainians as a nation.<\/p>\n

The commemoration in 2025 took place on 22 November, set against the backdrop of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched on 24 February 2022.<\/p>\n

Canada's Holodomor Research and Education Consortium<\/a> and the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the University of Alberta have presented a new film about the Holodomor, which shows the continuity of Russia's genocidal policies against Ukrainians. CIUS has also announced the launch of a new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) titled Famine as Genocide in the 20th Century: The Case of the Holodomor<\/em>. Scheduled to be fully accessible online in Winter 2025, the 13-module course will be delivered globally on the Coursera platform, offering a vital resource for scholars, students, and the public alike to examine one of the 20th century's most devastating, yet understudied, episodes of mass violence.
