Up to the 90th anniversary of the tragedy of the Holodomor, we invite you to the premiere of the new documentary series 'Holodomor. Chroniclers,' which will take place on December 10 at 3:30 PM at the Sõprus cinema.

The film was produced by the film company 'Fresh Production Group' commissioned by the Public Broadcaster. The screening is organized by the Association of Ukrainian Organizations in Estonia in collaboration with 'Fresh Production Group' and with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia.

The film premiered in Ukraine last week and was attended by prominent public and cultural figures, journalists, political experts, representatives of European embassies, international donors, Ukrainian diplomats, and two Presidents of Ukraine - Viktor Yushchenko and Petro Poroshenko.

🎬 The documentary series 'Holodomor. Chroniclers' will narrate the most horrific events in the history of Ukraine - the famine artificially created by the communist regime of the USSR to destroy the Ukrainian people.

Historical sources reveal details of the most terrifying period in our country's history. The real facts are so shocking that it is extremely difficult to imagine and adequately perceive them. They expose the essence of the communist regime, which, for the destruction of Ukrainians, created artificial famine in Ukrainian territories, leading to the death of at least 16 million of our compatriots.

The documentary series consists of four films.
🔹 "Capital of Despair"
Why did the West 'play along' with Stalin in covering up the genocide? How did Italian and German consuls inform Mussolini and Hitler about the famine in Ukraine? Did the knowledge of how Stalin orchestrated genocide in the center of Europe with impunity inspire Hitler's idea of the Holocaust? What really happened in Ukraine at the end of 1932 to 1933?

🔹 "Hail Stalin!"
What were Stalin's true intentions? How did the idea of starving Ukrainians to death emerge? How did the Kremlin plan the 'final solution to the Ukrainian question'? What were the instruments and mechanisms for implementing Stalin's genocidal policy?

🔹 "Riders of the Apocalypse"
What were the consequences of the Holodomor for Ukrainians? Why, even 80 years after the Holodomor, was mortality higher where it occurred, and birth rates higher where it did not? How does the gravity of the past work? How does trauma work? Why did the Holodomor become one of the reasons for the collapse of the USSR?

🔹 "The Shadow"
Disasters give birth to traumas. These traumas are inherited through behavioral stereotypes as survival recipes. Limiting the number of children in a family, limiting life prospects, pessimism, distrust of authority, distrust of others, conformity, the psychology of poverty - these are just some manifestations of the trauma of the Holodomor in modern Ukrainian society.
