As I also mention in the pinned comment under this video, this has been one of the hardest episodes we have made to date, both historically and emotionally. This episode is about the Holodomor, where Stalin consciously and deliberately used starvation as a weapon to murder millions of 'potential enemies'. When we were filming this back in August, the set went completely silent for a good minute after Indy spoke the last words of the take. We are aware that this might also be hard to watch for our viewers, but it is essential that these stories are told and remembered. May nothing like this ever happen again.

This episode will go public later today.

Cheers,

Joram

The Russians really don't like people talking about this. They consider it "anti-Russian propaganda."

We’re aware... but we can’t do much about that. It happened and it was tragic, to deny that it happened would be a terrible mistake, and an insult to those that suffered and died.

I'm from Ukraine. My grand-grandparents survived because they've used to dry pumpkin and for some reason USSR wasn't interested in that. We did know about family 4-5 farmhouses down the road that had to consider... other people as source of food, but decided to just commit suicide (although I can't confirm that this story is true)

Sheer horror.

I understand completely. Apparently there have been pressure on the Ukrainian government from Russia to not teach about the Holodomor in schools.

Even in the 1930s the world knew what was going on in Ukraine, but there still remained reporters and philosophers who were so enamored with Stalin and his Communists that they willingly downplayed the events or outright lied about them. It is little wonder that so many Ukrainians initially regarded the Nazi invaders as liberators and joined their side. Poland, the Ukraine, and the Baltic States always seem to be caught in the middle of the struggles between Europe and Russia.

only one word, too often misused, can describe this: ATROCITY
