Holodomor denial(Ukrainian:заперечення Голодомору,romanized:zaperechennia Holodomoru) is the claim that theHolodomor,a 1932–33 man-madefaminethat killed millions inSoviet Ukraine,[1]did not occur[2][3][4]or diminishing its scale and significance.

Officially, thegovernment of the Soviet Uniondenied the occurrence of the famine and it also suppressed information about the famine from the very beginning of it until the 1980s. The Soviet government's denial of the occurrence of the famine was also circulated by some Western journalists and intellectuals.[2][5][6]It was echoed at the time of the famine by some prominentWesternjournalists, includingThe New York Times'Walter Duranty.

According to Jurij Dobczansky, Holodomor denial is easily distinguished from serious scholarship, and "generally consists of especially vitriolic anti-Western and anti-Ukrainian tirades" and is often accompanied by accusations of foreign influence and Nazi sympathies, or ulterior motives.[7]: 160 

Soviet Union[edit]

Cover-up of the famine[edit]

Soviet head-of-stateMikhail Kalininresponded to Western offers of food by telling off "political cheats who offer to help the starving Ukraine," and commented, "Only the most decadent classes are capable of producing such cynical elements."[4][8]In an interview withGareth Jonesin March 1933, Soviet Foreign MinisterMaxim Litvinovstated, "Well, there is no famine", and went on to say: "You must take a longer view. The present hunger is temporary. In writing books you must have a longer view. It would be difficult to describe it as hunger."[citation needed]

On instructions from Litvinov, Boris Skvirsky, embassy counselor of the recently opened Soviet Embassy in the United States, published a letter on 3 January 1934, in response to a pamphlet about the famine.[9]In his letter, Skvirsky stated that the idea that the Soviet government was "deliberately killing the population of Ukraine" "wholly grotesque." He claimed that the Ukrainian population had been increasing at an annual rate of 2 percent during the preceding five years and asserted that the death rate in Ukraine "was the lowest of that of any of the constituent republics composing the Soviet Union", concluding that it "was about 35 percent lower than the pre-war death rate oftsaristdays. "[10]

Mention of the famine was criminalized, punishable with a five-year term in theGulaglabor camps.Blaming the authorities was punishable by death.[4]William Henry Chamberlinwas a Moscow correspondent ofThe Christian Science Monitorfor 10 years; in 1934 he was reassigned to the Far East. After he left the Soviet Union he wrote his account of the situation in Ukraine and North Caucasus (Poltava,Bila Tserkva,and Kropotkin). Chamberlin later published a couple of books:Russia's Iron AgeandThe Ukraine: A Submerged Nation.[11][12]He wrote in theChristian Science Monitorin 1934 that "the evidence of a large-scale famine was so overwhelming, was so unanimously confirmed by the peasants that the most 'hard-boiled' local officials could say nothing in denial."[13]

Falsification and suppression of evidence[edit]

The true number of dead was concealed. At the Kyiv Medical Inspectorate, for example, the actual number of corpses, 9,472, was recorded as only 3,997.[14]The GPU was directly involved in the destruction of actual birth and death records, as well as the fabrication of false information to cover up information regarding the causes and scale of death in Ukraine.[15]

The January 1937 census,the first in 11 years, was intended to reflect the achievements of Stalin's rule. Those collecting the data, senior statisticians with decades of experience, were arrested and executed, including three successive heads of theSoviet Central Statistical Administration.The census data itself was locked away for half a century in the Russian State Archive of the Economy.[16]

Soviet campaign in the 1980s[edit]

The Soviet Union denied the existence of the famine until its 50th anniversary, in 1983, when the worldwide Ukrainian community coordinated famine remembrance.[citation needed]TheUkrainian diasporaexerted significant pressure on the media and various governments, including the United States and Canada, to raise the issue of the famine with the government of the Soviet Union.

In February 1983,Alexander Yakovlev,the Soviet Ambassador to Canada, in a secret analysis "Some thoughts regarding the advertising of the Ukrainian SSR Pavilion held at the International Exposition"Man and the world"held in Canada "put forward a prognosis for a campaign being prepared to bring international attention to the Ukrainian Holodomor which was spearheaded by the Ukrainian nationalist community. Yakovlev proposed a list of concrete proposals to" neutralise the enemy ideological actions of the Ukrainian bourgeoise nationalists ".[17]

By April 1983, the bureau of the Soviet Novosti Press Agency had prepared and sent out a special press release denying the occurrence of the 1933 famine in Ukraine. This press release was sent to every major newspaper, radio and television station as well as University in Canada. It was also sent out to all members of the Canadian parliament.[18]

A Holodomor monument inEdmonton, Alberta,Canada

On 5 July 1983, the Soviet Embassy issued an official note of protest regarding the planned opening of a monument in memory of the victims of the Holodomor inEdmonton[19]attempting to smear the opening of the monument.

In October 1983, the World Congress of Ukrainians led by V-Yu Danyliv attempted to launch an international tribunal to judge the facts regarding the Holodomor. At the 4th World Congress of Ukrainians held in December 1983, a resolution was passed to form such an international tribunal.[19]

Former Ukrainian presidentLeonid Kravchukrecalled that he was responsible for countering the Ukrainian Diaspora's public education campaign of the 1980s, marking 50 years of the Soviet terror famine in 1983: "In the early 1980s many publications began appearing in the Western press on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most horrific tragedies in the history of our people. A counter-propaganda machine was put into motion, and I was one of its wheels." The first book on the famine was published in Ukraine only in 1989, after a major shake-up that occurred in the Communist Party of Ukraine whenVolodymyr IvashkoreplacedVolodymyr Shcherbytskyand the Political Bureau decided that such book could be published. However, even in this book, "the most terrifying photographs were not approved for print, and their number was reduced from 1,500 to around 350."[20]

Ultimately, as President of Ukraine, Kravchuk exposed the official cover-up attempts and came out in support of recognizing the famine, named the "Holodomor", as genocide.[citation needed]

Denial outside the Soviet Union[edit]

Walter Duranty andThe New York Times[edit]

According toPatrick Wright,[21]Robert C. Tucker,[22]andEugene Lyons,[23]one of the first Western Holodomor deniers wasWalter Duranty,who won the 1932Pulitzer prizein journalism, in the category of correspondence, for his dispatches on Soviet Union and the working out of theFive Year Plan.[24]In 1932, he wrote in the pages ofThe New York Timesthat "any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda".[25]He said that while there was a bad harvest, and consequent food shortages, it did not rise to the level of a famine and that "there is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation, but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition."[23][26]Some have disputed the validity of his distinction between death from starvation and death from disease that is exacerbated by malnutrition.[23]

In his reports, Duranty downplayed the impact of food shortages in Ukraine. As Duranty wrote in a dispatch from Moscow in March 1933, "These conditions are bad, but there is no famine" and "But—to put it brutally—you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs."[27][26]

Duranty also wrote denunciations of those who wrote about the famine, accusing them of being reactionaries andanti-Bolshevikpropagandists.In August 1933, CardinalTheodor InnitzerofViennacalled for relief efforts, stating that the famine in Ukraine was claiming lives "likely... numbered... by the millions" and driving those still alive toinfanticideandcannibalism.The New York Times,20 August 1933, reported Innitzer's charge and published an official Soviet denial: "in the Soviet Union we have neither cannibals norcardinals".The next day, theTimesadded Duranty's own denial.[citation needed]

British journalistMalcolm Muggeridge,who went to live in the Soviet Union in 1932 as a reporter for theManchester Guardianand became a fierce anti-communist, said of Duranty that he "always enjoyed his company; there was something vigorous, vivacious, preposterous, about his unscrupulousness which made his persistent lying somehow absorbing."[28]Muggeridge characterised Duranty as "the greatest liar of any journalist I have met in 50 years of journalism."[29]

An international campaign for the retraction of Duranty's Pulitzer Prize was launched in 2003 by the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association and its supporters. The newspaper, however, declined to relinquish it, arguing that Duranty received the prize for a series of reports about the Soviet Union, eleven of which were published in June 1931. In 1990, theTimespublished an editorial calling his work "some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper."[30]

By prominent visitors to the Soviet Union[edit]

Prominent writers from Ireland and Britain who visited the Soviet Union in 1934, such asGeorge Bernard ShawandH. G. Wells,are also on record as denying the existence of the famine in Ukraine.[3][31]

Another famine denier was Sir John Maynard.[32]In 1934 the British Foreign Office in the House of Lords stated that there was no evidence to support the allegations against the Soviet government regarding the famine in Ukraine, based on the testimony of Maynard, who had visited Ukraine in the summer of 1933 and rejected "tales of famine-genocide propagated by the Ukrainian Nationalists".[citation needed]

During a visit to Ukraine carried out between 26 August – 9 September 1933, formerFrench Prime MinisterÉdouard Herriot,said that Soviet Ukraine was "like a garden in full bloom".[33]Herriot declared to the press that there was no famine in Ukraine, that he did not see any trace of it, and that this showed adversaries of the Soviet Union were spreading the rumour. "When one believes that Ukraine is devastated by famine, allow me to shrug my shoulders", he declared. The 13 September 1933 issue ofPravdawas able to write that Herriot "categorically contradicted the lies of the bourgeoisie press in connection with a famine in the USSR."[34]It was alleged by anti-communist activistHarry Lang,who claimed to have visited Ukraine at the same time, that Herriot was shown a carefully stage-managed version of Ukraine that hid effects of famine and poverty.[35][34]

Douglas Tottle[edit]

In the 1980s, the union organizer and journalistDouglas Tottlewith the help of Soviet authorities[36]wrote a book arguing that the famine in Ukraine was not genocide,[37]under the title "Fraud, Famine and Ukrainian Fascism", to be published in Soviet Ukraine. However, before final publication, reviewers of the book in Kyiv insisted that the name of the book be changed, claiming "Ukrainian fascism never existed".[38][39]Tottle refused this name change, and as a result the book publication was delayed by several years.[citation needed]

In 1987, Tottle published the book in Toronto, Canada asFraud, Famine, and Fascism: the Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard[40]throughProgress Publishers.In a review of Tottle's book in theUkrainian Canadian Magazine,published by theAssociation of United Ukrainian Canadians,Wilfred Szczesny wrote: "Members of the general public who want to know about the famine, its extent and causes, and about the motives and techniques of those who would make this tragedy into something other than what it was will find Tottle's work invaluable".[41]HistorianRoman Serbynresponded that "in the era of glasnost, Szczesny could have rendered his readers no greater disservice". Serbyn likened Tottle's book toThe Hoax of the Twentieth Century,a work ofHolocaust denialbyArthur Butz.[37]Some of Tottle's material appeared in a 1988 article in theVillage Voice,"In Search of a Soviet Holocaust: A 55-Year-Old Famine Feeds the Right".[42]

In 1988, the nonprofitWorld Congress of Free Ukrainiansheld anInternational Commission of Inquiry Into the 1932–33 Famine in Ukraineto establish whether the famine existed and its cause. Tottle's book was examined during the Brussels sitting of the commission,[43]held between 23 and 27 May 1988, with testimony from various expert witnesses. The commission president Professor Jacob Sundberg claimed that Tottle received assistance from the Soviet government, based on information in the book that he felt would not be easily publicly available.[44]

Modern politics and law[edit]

Background[edit]

The issue of the Holodomor has been a point of contention between Russia and Ukraine, as well as within Ukrainian politics. According to opinion polls, Russia has experienced an increase in pro-Stalin sentiments since the year 2000,[45]with over half viewing Stalin favourably in 2015.[46]Since independence, Ukrainian governments have passed a number of laws dealing with the Holodomor and the Soviet past.

By 2009, Holodomor denial was a matter of Russian government policy and the subject of its disinformation operations.[7]: 162 The Russian government does not recognize the famine as an act of genocide against Ukrainians, viewing it rather as a "tragedy" that affected the Soviet Union as a whole, while current Russian PresidentVladimir Putindenies the genocide ever happened.[47]A 2008 letter from Russian presidentDmitry Medvedevto Ukrainian presidentViktor Yushchenkoasserted that "the tragic events of the 1930s are being used in Ukraine in order to achieve instantaneous and conformist political goals."[48]

Denial literature[edit]

English-language publications are catalogued according toLibrary of Congress Subject HeadingsdistinguishingHolodomor denial( "works that discuss the diminution of the scale and significance of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933 or the assertion that it did not occur." ),[49]andHolodomor denial literature( "Works that make such assertions" ).[50]

In 2006, the All-Ukrainian Public Association Intelligentsia of Ukraine for Socialism published a pamphlet titledMif o golodomore(The Myth of the Holodomor) by G. S. Tkachenko. The pamphlet claimed that Ukrainian nationalists and the US government were responsible for creating the "myth". Russian publicistYuri Mukhinhas published a book titledKlikushi Golodomora(Hysterical Women of the Holodomor), dismissing Holodomor as "Russophobia" and "a trump card of the Ukrainian Nazis." Sigizmund Mironin's"Golodomor" na Rusi(The "Holodomor" in Rus') argued that the cause of the famine was not Stalin's policies, but rather the chaos engendered by theNew Economic Policy.[7]

Sputnik News,a Russian state media outlet, ran an article denying the severity and causes of the famine in Ukraine.[51]

Laws against denial[edit]

Holodomor denial is a form ofhistorical negationism– falsification or distortion of the historical record about crimes against humanity – and as such it is subject to legal punishment in some countries.[52]Ukraine's 2006Law On the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine[uk]makes it illegal to publicly deny the Holodomor, recognizing it as an insult to the memory of victims and humiliation of the dignity of the Ukrainian people.[53]

In November 2022, Germany recognized the Holodomor as a genocide,[54]at the same time as it amended a law to criminalize the approval, denial, and "gross trivialization" of war crimes and instances of genocide in a new paragraph 5 of the German Criminal Code, theStrafgesetzbuch,section 130.[55][56]
