As many as 93% of Ukrainians believe that the Holodomor of 1932-1933 was genocide of the Ukrainian people, and only 3% don't think so.

That's according to a survey conducted by the Rating Sociological Group on November 20-21, 2022, Ukrinform reports.

"Some 93% said they agree with the statement that the Holodomor of 1932-1933 was genocide of the Ukrainian people. Only 3% deny this, and 4% were undecided," the report said.

Over the past decade, the number of respondents who agree with the statement that the Holodomor of 1932-33 is genocide of the Ukrainian people has increased by one-and-a-half times.

The Holodomor of 1932-33 is seen as genocide by most residents of the western, central, and southeastern regions of Ukraine. Also, there were no significant deviations in terms of age in this matter.

On the fourth Saturday of November, Ukrainians honor the memory of the victims of the Holodomor. In the 20th century, Ukrainians experienced three famines: in 1921-1923, 1932-1933, and 1946-1947. The most extensive was the famine of 1932-1933 - it is called the genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Stalinist regime.
