The Ukrainian Revolution Part 4 | Holodomor: Stalin’s Terror-Famine in Ukraine | Ancient to Recent | Episode 23

In 1932–33, Ukraine faced one of the deadliest tragedies of the 20th century, the Holodomor. Stalin’s regime seized food, blacklisted entire villages, sealed Ukraine’s borders, and used starvation as a weapon to crush resistance. Millions died as the Soviet state destroyed Ukrainian culture, language, and identity.

In Episode 23, Joseph Parkinson uncovers how the famine was engineered, how the OGPU enforced it, and why the Holodomor stands as a defining crime of the Soviet Union. From grain requisitions to the cultural purges, this episode reveals how Stalin turned Ukraine into a laboratory of terror.
