An excellent series. I'll definitely be referring people to it!

One of the predominant problems, as regards Holodomor (and Ukrainian history in general), is that in discussions/debates it's virtually impossible to find non-Ukrainian research & researchers in order to refute accusations of information as being non-Partisan: that is, basically lies to serve Ukrainian nationalism without any substance or agenda other than promoting unsubstantiated lies!

It's time for the truth to come out!
