HAVRYLYUK D. Yu. Holodomor in ukrainian political discourse

     The article deals with the actualization of the danger of politicization and manipulation by various political actors of the Holodomor theme of 1932–1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. For a long time, until the recognition at the level of the law, at the highest level, and in society, an open and in-depth discussion of one of the most violent political practices of the Stalinist political regime, such as the Holodomor, was almost absent. Until 2006, recognizing the Holodomor as a genocide of Ukrainians and imposing legal sanctions for its denial had no political support from political elites. At the same time, in the absence of unity and compromise on the interpretation of historical past national history among Ukrainian politicum, contributed to the rise of nihilistic estimates of the Holodomor as genocide of Ukrainians by odious politicians and parties.
    Article by Havrylyuk D.Yu. not only digs into the past of already independent Ukraine, but also gives its subjective vision to political assessments of recognition of the Holodomor of 1932 – 33 as genocide of the Ukrainian people, offers its recommendations to minimize the politicization of the Holodomor theme of 1932 – 1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people among political parties of Ukraine.
    The article emphasizes the danger of systematically ignoring the responses of the current political players on the estimates of such a page of the Ukrainian people's history as the Holodomor of 1932 – 1933 . The danger in the opinion of the author of the article is that the Soviet policy of ethnocide, whose historical manifestation is the Holodomor, remains a tale a century that was to subjugate the whole people to the Stalinist political regime.
