Petition text:
We, the undersigned, urge Her Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to mark and recognise the 72nd anniversary (and subsequent anniversaries) of the Soviet-induced famine known as Holodomor in Ukraine.
We urge the UK to recognise officially that in 1932-33 the confiscation by Soviet authorities of grain harvested in Ukraine resulted in the deliberate death by starvation of some seven million Ukrainians which can therefore be classed as genocide.
We urge the Government to condemn any and all attempts to deny or misrepresent the facts about the Holodomor in Ukraine.
We urge the Government to include in the UK National Curriculum in schools a clear acknowledgement of the scale of death resulting from Soviet agriculture policy in Ukraine during 1932-33.
