According to a joint initiative of the Ukrainian Embassy and the leadership of the Baku Slavic University, a memorial event is devoted to the 73 rd anniversary of the tragedy.
Ukraine considers the lean years of 1932-1933 as the genocide committed towards Ukrainian people. Those years took life of millions of people. Terrible actions were carried out by the Soviet totalitarian regime which was aimed at the annihilation of the Ukrainian nation. But the Ukrainian people survived those dreadful times despite the man-hating policy of the totalitarian machinery and the silence of the World.
