Most of us spend our time keeping up on world incident like interesting facts, famine, flood, history of human race, continent and nations etc. In recent times I came across famous famine, which took place in the Russia in 1932-1933. This great famine in Soviet Union in 1932-1933 is called golodomor. This famine affected most major agricultural production region of the Russia including Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Northern Caucasus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The term Holodomor means the mass hunger or the great hunger that caused million of victims throughout the Soviet Union in 1932-1933. The communist soviet union of Joseph Stalin distributes most of their agriculture product to the west in order to aid the rapid economic transformation - "Industrialization" and "Collectivization". Holodomor come from the Ukraine words Holod-hunger and mor-plague. This holodomor result was very massive and devastating with an estimated seven million people died in this place. This was initially called Golodomor, which was changed to holodomor to show it to the people that it was an act of genocide. The European Parliament discarded the resolution to call this famine as an act of genocide but an unkind treatment and crime committed by Joseph Stalin. This is the place where 80 percent of the people were traditional village farmers.
