The Holodomor isn't widely known in the U.S. Here's what you need to know about Stalin's famine that killed millions of Ukrainians 90 years ago.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine faces continued power outages caused by Russian missile strikes., Ukrainians were observing a Moscow-backed atrocity that began 90 years ago: the Holodomor.

The Holodomor, which translates roughly to “death by hunger” in Ukrainian, is also known as the Great Famine. More than 3 million people died over two years as the Soviet government under Josef Stalin confiscated food and grain supplies and deported many Ukrainians. Pope Francis linked the current suffering of Ukrainians to the 1930s man-made famine, describing it Wednesday as “genocide artificially caused by Stalin.”

He noted that Saturday marks the 90th anniversary of the start of the famine, which Ukraine commemorates every fourth Saturday of November with a Day of Memory. “Let us pray for the victims of this genocide and let us pray for so many Ukrainians – children, women, elderly, babies – who today are suffering the martyrdom of aggression," Francis said.

Ninety years after the atrocity, Russia has"unleashed a full-scale war against us and wants to organize Holodomor 2.0," Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, said SaturdayNow, 90 years later, Russia unleashed a full-scale war against us and wants to organize Holodomor 2.0. But this time not in Ukraine alone, but also in the world. The crime must be punished. The world must hold the aggressor accountable.
