The Holodomor: Famine and Fiction

Jeremy Richard Library – Stamford Campus 
One University Place 
Stamford, CT.

Censorship,  politics, ideology and egos drove press coverage of the Holodomor, the 1932-1933 famine that ravaged Ukraine and the Kuban region of the USSR, claiming 6-10 million lives.  
 
This exhibit summarized the historical events surrounding the Holodomor and explored the factors that affected reporting of the famine: the political climate and priorities of the day, the censorship and denial by Moscow, and the ideological persuasions and personal ambitions of the reporters. 
The exhibit ran from April 16 to May 21, 2010
