has emphasized that this tragedy of the Ukrainian nation, organized by the

innocent victims, who can never be returned - it is our memory, and, at the
same time, the prevention to the succeeding generations of the humanity.

by several world parliaments relating the estimate of the famine of
1932-1933 in Ukraine, and also about the joint statement of Ukraine, Russia,
USA, Canada, several other states, which is to be spread in the nearest
future as an official document of the 58th session of the U.N. General
Assembly in New-York.

happened 70 years ago, were the consequence of a unique cynical policy of
that-time authorities, a war of the country leadership against a part of its
nation.

underlined the necessity to give an unbiased estimate to the famine of
1932-1933 in Ukraine.
