The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Famine-genocide) is the 1932–33 famine in Ukraine, the lower Volga region, and northern Caucasus, in which four million or more persons died of starvation.
The term is used by those who consider that this was an artificial famine, a deliberate genocide committed as part of Josef Stalin's forced collectivization program under the Soviet Union.
The nature and causes of the famine is a controversial, politically-loaded topic, and subject to debate by historians. Many maintain that the famine was a natural consequence of Soviet forced collectivization and associated resistance, exacerbating an already poor harvest. Some even consider that the concept of the Holodomor is essentially fabricated, and exploited for political purposes.
