 Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze past and present harm done to Ukrainians. It looks at the Russian Federation's current military actions in Ukraine as a continuation of past genocides. The article reviews literature about genocide, defining it and describing its features. It focuses on the time Ukraine was under Soviet control, highlighting genocidal acts like the Red Terror, punishment of the intelligentsia, and the Holodomor. It challenges the idea that the Holodomor only affected peasants, showing it was a broader attack on Ukrainian culture and identity, including educated leaders. The article compares the Holodomor, past punishments, and recent war crimes in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, indicating they all show signs of genocide. It presents strong evidence that the Russian army's actions in this conflict are genocidal against Ukrainians. This conclusion is supported by statistical data and comparisons with other genocides. The article stresses the importance of recognizing the fight against Ukrainian self-identity as genocide. By exploring these historical and current events, the article helps us understand the ongoing struggles of Ukrainians and calls for justice and reconciliation.
