Starving Ukraine
University of Regina Press (Verlag)
978-0-88977-560-2 (ISBN)
From 1932 to 1933, a catastrophic famine, known as the Holodomor ("extermination by hunger"), raged through Ukraine, killing millions of people. Although the Soviet government denied it, news about the tragedy got out and Canadians came to learn about the famine from many, though often contradictory, sources. Through an extensive analysis of newspapers, political speeches, and organized protests, Serge Cipko examines both the reporting of the famine and the Canadian response to it, highlighting the vital importance of journalism and the power of public demonstrations in shaping government action.
Serge Cipko is Assistant Director, Research, at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta, and author of Ukrainians in Argentina, 1897–1950: The Making of a Community and co-author, with Glenna Roberts, of One-Way Ticket: The Soviet Return-to-the-Homeland Campaign, 1955–1960.
