News CenterNews Release - Ukraine Exhibit Now OnlineJuly 22, 2010 Lee Edwards, Ph.D. The Global Museum on Communism Opens Ukraine Exhibit
The Global Museum on Communism has officially opened an exhibit devoted to Ukraine under Communism. Ukraine's suffering at the hands of Stalinism represents one of the most infamous chapters in the history of communism. From 1932-1933, the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin attempted to exterminate the Ukrainian people by starving an estimated 10 million people to death in what is known as the Holodomor.
The Ukraine exhibit features a timeline of events in Ukraine from the Bolshevik revolution to independence, biographies of major Ukrainian figures, and a study of the effects of communism on the people of Ukraine. Professor emeritus Taras Hunczak of Rutgers University is the author of the exhibit.
The opening of the Ukraine exhibit follows closely the first anniversary of the unveiling of the Global Museum on Communism.
