Today, Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz joined Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield, Regina Mayor Michael Fougere, and Ukrainian community members to officially dedicate a statue that will serve as a permanent reminder of the Holodomor – a man-made famine that devastated Ukraine during the early 1930s.
Holodomor, meaning 'extermination by hunger' in Ukrainian, claimed seven to 10 million people from 1932 to 1933 and is regarded by historians as a deliberate campaign of terror perpetrated by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
“The Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Regina is happy to see our vision become a reality,” Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Regina Branch President Orest Gawdyda said. “We thank the Government of Saskatchewan and Wascana Centre Authority for making the Ukrainian community of Saskatchewan proud by having the Holodomor statue erected near the Saskatchewan Legislative Building.”
The statue is a project of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Regina Branch. The original is near the entrance of the National Holodomor Museum in Kyiv, Ukraine.
In 2008, the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was the first jurisdiction in North America to recognize this genocide with the passing of The Ukrainian Famine and Genocide (Holodomor) Memorial Day Act. More than 130,000 people in Saskatchewan identify as having Ukrainian ancestry.
