Summary
Description Millstone-monument-to-victoms-of-holodomor.jpg |
English:
In the village of Victorivka (Вікторівка), there stands a monument dedicated to the victims of the man-made famine known as Holodomor. This tragedy claimed the lives of millions of Ukrainians in the early 1930s. The monument, created as a memorial to these victims, holds a deep significance.
What makes this monument particularly remarkable is its construction. It is crafted entirely from millstones, which the villagers had hidden and used in secrecy. During the famine, Soviet authorities strictly forbade the use of millstones. However, the villagers, determined to preserve their grain and ensure their survival. In 2007, they built this monument from the millstones they managed to hide and save from the Soviet plunder, as a statement of defiance and in memory of those that died in the famine.
