Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechaev called the intention of the Bundestag to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in the USSR as a genocide of the Ukrainian people as “anti-historical”.
Earlier, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported that the Bundestag intends to adopt a resolution recognizing the Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
“This is an absolutely anti-historical approach, contrary to facts and common sense,” Nechaev said.
The resolution was reportedly initiated by Green MP Robin Wagener, who also serves as chairman of the German-Ukrainian parliamentary group. The text of the resolution states that “all of Ukraine, and not just its grain-producing regions, suffered from famine and repression.”
Wagener also calls in his resolution to “spread information about the Holodomor and recognize it as part of the common European history.” In his opinion, this “would be the appropriate signal.”
A mass famine took place in the early 1930s, and the inhabitants of Ukraine, Belarus, the Volga region, the North Caucasus and other territories suffered from it.
