Medvedev humiliates millions of innocent victims of 1932 -1933 Holodomor: Yushchenko

November20200820:52

“The Russian president humiliates millions of innocent victims of the Famine. Any president has a commitment to respect his country’s history. This is an elementary ethical code,” Yushchenko said, speaking to Spain’s El Pais, the presidential press service quotes the incumbent as saying Nov. 20.

Yushchenko said he is reluctant to comment on Medvedev’s statement which demonstrates “inadequate attitude to the tragedy of the Ukrainian people.”

It should be recalled that the Russian president refused to show up in Kyiv to attend Holodomor remembrance events. In an open letter to Yushchenko, Medvedev challenged the interpretation of the Holodomor as genocide, saying the famine also afflicted Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Medvedev called it “cynical and immoral” to state that the famine in Ukraine was different from the famine in other FSU regions.

- Ukraine and Ukrainians would do well to admit Kiev's own hand in Chernobyl'
  A conservative estimate places impact at 2 million dead or affected by birth defects in immediate vicinity of epicenter, including Russian Briansk and Vitebsk.
  And less conservative estimate places impact at 8 millions, and includes country as far remote as Norway as victims of nuclear particle charged rains and clouds, spread from epicenter for months on end.
  Was it not for generous assistance of Moscow and Russian nation the impact would of being far worse.
  Ahh... samotiyniki. It's so easy to spread lies and hatred.

- Perhaps Medvedev's statement is also moving in the right direction, from what I understand, Russia has disputed the whole idea of the great famine to avoid any prosecution. They can no longer hide or deny that millions of Ukrainians died as a direct result of Moscow's actions and should be held responsible.
