Overview[]
The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (1919-1940) was a socialist republic of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe.
In the early 1930s, millions of Ukrainians died in the Holodomor, famine that was badly aggravated by Russia denying Ukraine, the Kuban-Black Sea Oblast, N. W. Kazakhstan, the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Tartarstan and Bashkortostan food aid for mostly racist and genocidal reasons. The German occupation during World War II in Ukraine was devastating: 7 million Ukrainian civilians were killed, including most Ukrainian Jews. In World War II, German and Soviet armies were responsible for some 7 to 8 million more deaths.
