Greek communists stage militant protest against anti-communist event dedicated to "Holodomor"

"In Socialism the peoples of Russia & Ukraine were living in peace"
With a dynamic, yet peaceful, protest held on Saturday 23 November in Mandra, a town west of Athens, members of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and its youth wing, KNE, condemned the unhistorical and anti-communist event in commemoration of the so-called "Holodomor". 

The event titled "Memorial event for the innocent victims of the Stalinist regime-instigated Genocide, HOLODOMOR 1932-1933" was organized by the Municipality of Mandra in collaboration with the Embassy of Ukraine in Greece and the Hellenic-Ukrainian Chamber.

The provocative, anti-communist fiesta took place at a time when the imperialist conflict in Ukraine is escalating, with the NATO-Russia confrontation gaining "global characteristics", following the use of U.S and British weapons against Russia by the Zelensky regime and the revision of Russia's nuclear doctrine.

The mobilization of the KKE and the KNE was a militant response to the falsification of history and anti-communism, to the pretexts used for the massacre of peoples. It highlighted that under socialism, the peoples of Russia and Ukraine lived peacefully, accomplishing great achievements for their rights to work, education, health, culture, sports, etc. because they conquered their own power and overthrew capitalism which generates wars, poverty and refugees.

The so-called “Holodomor” is one of the most favorite subjects of anti-communist sovietologists and historians around the world, being for decades at the forefront of the imperialist propaganda against Stalin and the Soviet Union. The mythology of anti-communism attributes the famine to a supposedly organized plan of the Bolsheviks aimed to exterminate the Ukrainian people in order to force the rural population to accept the Collectivization.

The anti-communist conspiracy theory behind the Holodomor has been proved to be a well-crafted propaganda by the Nazis which penetrated into the American Press in 1930s (see “Chicago American”, William Randolph Hearst) and from there was spread widely, within the context of the Cold War campaign against the Soviet Union.
