Tymoshenko Believes Memory of Holodomor Should Unite the Nation

BYuT leader Yuliya Tymoshenko believes that the memory of Holodomor victims should unite the Ukrainian people in its great sorrow.

According to the BYuT press service, today Tymoshenko will light a candle and say a prayer in the memory of the victims of the tragedy. “I’ll ask God to stop political nothings from disturbing the souls of those starved to death by the 1932-1933 famine. And also to make their memory inspire us to repulse whenever Ukraine’s freedom is threatened,” the BYuT leader said.

She recalled that the truth of the Ukrainian people’s tragedy had long been suppressed. “I think our independence should have happened even if only to give us a chance to tell the truth about the Ukraine swelling from hunger, freezing in cold houses, with whole villages becoming cemeteries,” Tymoshenko said.

Besides, she said that, in her view, the Holodomor issue is a test for civic, patriotic, and political maturity of the community and those claiming to be national leaders. In Tymoshenko’s words, it is unendurable to see the today’s “masters of the universe” elocute on Holodomor from their comfortable position.
