Ukrainian famine, Madam Speaker, was a tragic period of history in which the Soviet Union inflicted a brutally repressive policy upon the Ukrainian people. This policy was designed to punish the people of Ukraine for its aversion to the oppressive and imperialistic government of the former Soviet Union.
