The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has voted to recognize the Holodomor, a famine in Ukraine caused by the Soviets 90 years ago that killed several million people, as an act of genocide.
In a text that, as reported by AFP, was voted almost unanimously, SE parliamentarians in Strasbourg did the same as the European Parliament, which qualified it as genocide in December last year.
The Holodomor, also known as the Famine, was an artificially created famine that affected the population of Soviet Ukraine, the North Caucasus, and the area around the lower reaches of the Volga River between 1932 and 1933.
The memory of the victims of the Holodomor is commemorated in Ukraine and around the world every year on the fourth Saturday in November.
