Ukraine's national intelligence agency, the SBU, today declassified 130 state archive files on the country's Stalin-era famine.
Between five and seven million Ukrainians are estimated to have died during the 1932-33 famine.
Many Ukrainians claim the famine was deliberately orchestrated by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
SBU spokesman Vasyl Danielenko says Ukraine is the first former Soviet country to open up secret documents on the famines.
Ioseb Jughashvili, the pride of communism, proved he could kill more of his own people, and faster, than could Hitler. |
