Holodomor: Germany's parliament recognises Ukraine's 1930s famine as 'genocide'▼

<p>Germany's parliament has approved a symbolic resolution recognising the 1930s famine in Ukraine as "genocide".</p> <p>Known in Ukraine as "Holodomor" - meaning murder by starvation - the famine is believed to have killed over 3 million Ukrainians under the repressive rule of then-Soviet leader Josef Stalin.</p> <p>Some historians claim Stalin purposely orchestrated the famine to eliminate the Ukrainian independence movement. Others say Holodomor was the result of the Soviet Union's botched policies to collectivise agricultural land.</p> <p>According to the resolution brought to the Bundestag - Germany's lower house of parliament - by the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's governing coalition and the main opposition bloc, "the mass deaths from hunger were not a result of failed harvests; the political leadership of the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin was responsible for them."
