Honoring the memory of the victims of the genocide of the Ukrainian people - the Holodomor of 1932-1933, the staff of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine joined the national and international action Light the Candle of Remembrance.

By organizing the Holodomor, the Bolsheviks sought to overcome the resistance of the Ukrainians. Stalin's totalitarian regime encroached on the future of the Ukrainian nation: a third of those starved to death were children.

The Soviet authorities denied the very fact of genocide. But today we know: you can keep archives secret for decades, you can try to erase the traces of a crime, you can try to rewrite history, but you can’t do anything to the memory of Ukrainians. After years of prohibition, oppression, humiliation of human dignity, it comes to life and is reborn.

The memory of the Holodomor is an integral part of our national memory. By lighting a candle today for the innocent victims, we are defending ourselves and the hope for a worthy future for Ukraine.
