Memorial for victims of Stalin's brutal act (UK)
ROCHDALE has become the first town in the UK to honour the victims of a barbaric Soviet famine that claimed the lives of millions.
A memorial stone has been unveiled to mark the Holodomor genocide — an enforced starvation over 18 months between 1932 to 1933 which claimed the lives of at least seven million Ukrainians under Joseph Stalin’s regime.
The memorial stone was unveiled during a ceremony at the memorial gardens opposite Rochdale Town Hall on Friday.
Organised by Rochdale Council, Rochdale Friends of Lviv and the Ukrainian community, the ceremony was part of a tribute to commemorate the victims of the genocide – one of the most brutal acts carried out by the Soviet leader.
