23-10-2007 19:36 2008 will be declared year of memory of 1932 to 1933 Holodomor victims
President Viktor Yushchenko told this a sitting of the coordination council on gearing up to the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor.
The President belies that chiefs of regional and district administrations and local self-defelopment bodies should clear their position on paying tribute to the Holodomor victims. He was surprised that only 44 monuments to victims of the Holodomor have been inaugurated in the Kharkiv region, as two million people died here starving. Mr Yushchenko said he will commission governors of those regions, seeming not to care about this event. Within a year memorial complexes will be built in Kyiv and Kharkiv and the first museum of victims of the Holodomor will open in Kyiv. Viktor Yushchenko read out documentary testimonies of a citizen of the Kharkiv region Tamara Polishchuk in the books "Black Harvest" and "Capital of Despair". Regional governors will report the President on measures taken in their regions on gearing up to the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor in Ukraine.
