On Friday, November 25, the President of Ukraine will open an exhibition at the Ukrainian House in Kyiv about the Ukrainian Genocide - the Holodomor- Famine-Terror Death for Millions, of 1932-1933 imposedon the Ukrainian nation by the Soviet government of Josef Stalin.

Part of that major exhibition will feature a series of 85 graphics, linocuts, by Mykola Mykhaylovych Bondarenko, Ukrainian graphic artist from the village of Dmytrivka in the Sumy Oblast.

The artworks answer the question as to what people, when their entire normal supply of food was stolen away by the Soviets were forced to eat in their frantic attempt to defy death by hunger. This will be the first exhibition of these artworks in Ukraine. Mr. Bondarenko, born in 1949, will be present at the Holodomor Exhibition.

Oleksander Kapitonenko, Simferopol, in a preface to a book about the Bondarenko graphics, published by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA wrote: "From early childhood, Mykola Mykhaylovych (Bondarenko) loved to listed to the old people reminiscing about village life in the olden days.

I've always thought that a film should be made about the holodomor, kind of in the same style as some of the Jewish holocaust films, but naturally with a Christian slant. There was recently a film made about the Armenian genocide called Ararat which is definitely worth checking out. There need to be more of these though.

Atleast something is being done to raise awareness about the Ukrainian Genocide. Maybe if we come to control 60% of Hollywood, some day we'll have our own movies.

Famine was never exclusively "ukrainian," having affected people in Southern Russia proper as well, but a film there should be of the entire bolshevik pogrom...you would see something predating the nazis and eclipsing their evil, and probaly from the hints in hitler's bloodthirsty rantings, a primary influence on the nazi "endige losung." They perpetrated true POGROMS, whose systematized horrors were a combination of mohammed, genghis khan, marquis desade and what came to be known as the nazis. INDICT the villains...
