Countering Russia’s Aggression in Ukraine

Ukraine is under attack. 

In the wake of Ukraine’s 2013-2014 Revolution of Dignity (aka Euromaydan), Russia illegally seized and occupied Crimea and started an armed conflict in eastern Ukraine.  Five years on, Russia continues to arm, train, lead, and fight alongside the anti-government forces in eastern Ukraine, while falsely insisting it is not a party to the conflict.  The fighting has resulted in approximately 13,000 deaths, caused the internal displacement of 1.5 million people, and forced more than 3.4 million more to require assistance and protection in a largely forgotten humanitarian catastrophe.  Critical civilian infrastructure continues to be damaged or disrupted, exacerbating humanitarian needs.  Russia continues to stall diplomatically as the situation deteriorates.Read More

Historical note on the U.S. government position regarding the Holodomor as genocide as of December 2018:

by Lana Babij

2018 was a breakthrough year with regard to the U.S. government, through Congressional resolutions, recognizing the Holodomor in Ukraine as an act of genocide.  Both the Senate in S.Res. 435 (115th) and the House of Representatives in H.Res. 931 (115th) passed identical “simple resolutions” that included that recognition in the body of the legislation.

Among the 5 concluding statements of each resolution, it is stated that the Congressional body passing the resolution:

These are NOT photographs from the Holodomor!

These 13 photos were selected from among photographs most commonly used today to represent the Holodomor, that were in fact originally taken to portray other famines.  12 were taken during the 1921- 1923 famine in Russia and Ukraine; 1 during the 19th c. famine in Madras, India.

8 reasons we see photos from other famines misrepresenting the Holodomor

Eight reasons we see photos from other famines misrepresenting the Holodomor.

By Lana Babij, September 22, 2018.

  1. The existence of famine during the 1930’s was officially denied by the Soviet Government.  (more)
  2. Photography in the Soviet Union was strictly monitored with numerous subjects forbidden.  Cameras and film were inspected at borders and were frequently confiscated. Photographers seen as breaking the rules were arrested and subject to imprisonment.
  3. Very few photographs taken secretly by foreigners in order to show evidence of famine were successfully smuggled out of the Soviet Union. (more)
  4. The famine of 1921-1923 in Russia and Ukraine was not denied, and foreign assistance was welcomed. Hundred s of photographs were taken by aid workers to document their work and to solicit donations.  Copies of these photos continue to be available in plentiful supply. (more)
  5. As early as the mid- 1930’s, some writers have deliberately used 1921-1923 photos in order to give a sense of the similar horrors of the Holodomor, without stating the true sources of the photographs. (more)
  6. Since that time, other writers have continued to use these misattributed photographs without questioning their validity.  With the advent of social media for sharing images, the problem has increased. (more)
  7. Writers to this day would like to show a picture of what starvation looks like.  (more)
  8. To date, there is no comprehensive, easily accessible guide to validated photographs showing evidence of famine during the Holodomor. (more)
