On November 27 Ukraine bows its head in sorrow before our countrymen, the victims of the Holodomor and of political repression. On this sorrowful day, we remember this tragedy on a universal scale – the genocide of the Ukrainian people. Vichnaya pam’iat’ – Eternal Memory – to our innocently perished brothers and sisters!
Now we know how and by whom this crime against the Ukrainian people happened. Its basis was evil, lies, disregard of human life, the destruction of human dignity. The people became the main tool in the hands of a totalitarian regime. We must all remember this, so that such a tragedy never returns to our homeland!
This year, the anniversary of the Holodomor is met not only with sorrow, but with great hope. The people have risen to defend their election, their honor, their freedom and independence. They no longer wish to live with falsehood, in oppression and humiliation, with which the present regime is burdening them. Ukrainian people are throwing off their chains, the chains forged in the past.
However dramatic are the present days, our victory is not far away. This victory belongs to us and our children. The victory of Ukraine is the obligation we are fulfilling in memory of those who perished.
Eternal Memory to Them!
Glory to Ukraine!
