What Do We Really Know About the Holodomor: New Research Results

Thursday, September 15, 2016 — 4:00PM - 6:00PM Munk School of Global Affairs
1 Devonshire Place
M5S 3K7

Dr. Wolowyna will speak about the results of recent research conducted by a team of demographers from Ukraine and the US. In-depth analysis of available data and recently discovered documents put in question some popular beliefs about the Holodomor. Also a comparative analysis of 1932-1934 famine losses at the regional level in Ukraine and of recent estimates of regional losses in Russia provide a new perspective on the Holodomor in particular and the 1932-1934 famine in general.
