Holodomor or also known as The Ukrainian famine was a famine that occured in the Ukraine during the years 1932 to 1933. The famine was brought on due to Stalin's new,radical collective farming programs in 1927. A serious drought had already threatened grain crops during the year and low snowfall amounts during the following year made the soil less tillageable. By the early 1930's many people were starving to death, due to Stalin's issues not to import any food into the Ukraine and people caught stealing even the smallest amount of food were executed. People who left and squated on Government land were treated as treasonists.

The loss of live has been around the 3 millions to 3.5 million death, although, figures have been as high as 10 Million deaths due to the famine.
