282. Lesa Melnyczuk - Ukraine Commemorates the 90th Anniversary of the Holodomor Genocide in 2022–23

In 2022–2023, Ukraine commemorated the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor genocide. It comes at a time when Ukraine is facing a new struggle for its survival. Russia is committing a new genocide – with the full-scale war it launched in Feb-2022. Methods to suppress Ukrainian nationhood differ, - a man-made famine, terror, and deportation in the 1930, and war in the 21st century, but the intent remains the same – and the source of this misery is Russia once more. But the Ukrainian nation perseveres, and Ukrainians themselves seem to be irrepressible, resilient, inventive, and indomitable. ---------- Lesa Morgan is a Ukrainian Holodomor researcher based in Western Australia, writing about the period of Russian genocide from 1932-1933. She has always been passionate about Ukrainian history, and her latest project is based around eyewitness interviews. Since the full-scale war she has been fundraising for Ukraine as well as assisting those who have arrived in Perth Western Australia since the war began. ---------- LINKS: https://serenitypress.org/authors/lesa-melnyczuk/ https://www.ukrainiansinperth.com/2019-dr-lesa-melnyczuk-holodomor https://www.amazon.com/Books-Lesa-Melnyczuk/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ALesa+Melnyczuk https://www.uwa.edu.au/news/article/2022/december/new-scholarship-to-provide-an-opportunity-for-displaced-ukrainian-female-national-at-uwa https://www.waterstones.com/book/silent-memories-traumatic-lives/lesa-melnyczuk/9781459666733 https://ewjus.com/index.php/ewjus/article/view/679/342 https://store.museum.wa.gov.au/products/silent-memories-traumatic-lives ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- ARTICLES: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fiction/best-books-ukraine-russia-2023/ https://granta.com/soundscape-of-war/ https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2022/12/08/ukrainian-lessons-at-the-train-station-ada-wordsworth/ https://www.theoldie.co.uk/article/language-lessons-in-ukraine-ada-wordsworth ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
