Holodomor: International Flame visits Regina
May 21, 2008
-- A commemorative Holodomor famine-genocide program was held
by the Regina branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress in
front of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building on April 29,
2008. Story
April 18, 2008 --
A remembrance flame is travelling the globe to raise awareness
of the 75th Anniversary of the famine-genocide (known as Holodomor)
in Ukraine. The flame will arrive at the steps of the Legislative
building at noon on Tuesday, April 29. Premier Brad Wall will
be there to greet flame-bearer and Holodomor survivor, Stefan
Hortlatsch, along with provincial president for the Ukrainian
Canadian Congress (UCC) Ed Lysyk and local UCC president,
Orest Warnyca. Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz, Leader of the Opposition
Lorne Calvert and numerous MLAs will also be in attendance.
In an effort to force Ukrainian farmers to adopt collective
rather than independent farming, and to eliminate the Ukrainian
nation and its aspirations for independence, Stalin’s communist
regime confiscated food, animals and land from Ukrainian farmers
in 1932-33. This forced starvation resulted in an estimated
10 million Ukrainians losing their lives. Ukrainians around
the world are participating in a year-long commemoration of
the 75th anniversary of this famine-genocide in Ukraine.
The International Remembrance Flame began
its journey in Australia this year, and will be travelling
through 33 countries ending in Ukraine in November of 2008.
