7 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Листопад 2022 Розтрощені пальці за колоски, Пробиті багнетами скроні. Порожні глечики і миски І губи в німім прокльоні. Заклякли, завмерли, застигли й мовчать У списках мерців та на фото. Є вибір: забути чи не забувать. Це й вибір і скаже, хто ти... Твій вибір Руслан Горовий , журналіст, автор відомого проєкту «Служба розшуку дітей», Заслужений журналіст України, режисер-документаліст, поет і музикант, письменник «Коли промовляю або бачу десь слово “голодомор”, згадую історію, яку чув від прабаби: “Вночі скло у вікні розбивається і просовують всередину лопату. Кла - діть, кажуть, їжу, бо півня під стріху пустимо. А ми тут самі вже пухнемо з голоду... Ти до дверей, а вони зназовні підперті. І всі плачуть...” Таке не можемо за - бувати». Розтрощені пальці за колоски, Пробиті багнетами скроні. Порожні глечики і миски І губи в німім прокльоні. Заклякли, завмерли, застигли й мовчать У списках мерців та на фото.

Цей вибір і скаже, хто ти... “If we do not correct the situation in Ukraine immediately, we will lose Ukraine.” My empir - ical work adds to these historical approaches, demonstrating that comparative genocide the - orizing is consistent with calling the Holodomor a genocide. My work is also able to detect key points of dehumanization toward Ukrainians in these letters from Stalin and his inner circle, showing how an increasingly hardened, undif - ferentiated view of Ukrainians emerged. Even Ukrainian communists were termed by Kagano - vich as “bacteria eating away” at the Party’s leadership in his August 16, 1932, response to Stalin. Today, the social sciences and the humanities approach cases like the Holodomor with differ - ent methodologies that each add something to our understanding of these complex, tragic events. As we remember and commemorate the devastation of the Holodomor this November, it is important to recognize that, despite Soviet repressions of this case for so many decades, the truth ultimately could not be quashed. And with this emergence, historical records that in - dicate credible accusations of genocide against Ukrainians by Joseph Stalin and his inner circle have also begun to change these conversations in academia and beyond. As Ukrainians now work to defend against hor - rific violence orchestrated by Vladimir Putin, the importance of knowing the Holodomor’s his - torical veracity and its implications for free, in - dependent Ukraine has been clearly expressed, even on the battlefield. As the war wages on, personal messages have begun appearing on a growing arsenal of weapons directed against rus - sia, with one photograph showing the Ukrainian caption: “For each grain [of wheat] in 1933.” This stunning photograph demonstrates the inter - generational nature of Kremlin violence against Ukraine, as well as the intergenerational nature of courageous Ukrainian resistance. While Stalin nearly got away with his terrible crimes against Ukrainians generations ago, we can stand to - gether as the international community in sup - porting Ukraine. We can ensure that this time, the story ends very differently, with Ukrainian victory, accountability, and justice. For more on Professor Hook’s work, visit: https://www.kristinahook.com/about
