"The exhibition presents materials that reveal information about peasant protests because of the reluctance to go to the collective farms and the Holodomor as a fact of a directed process of destroying the Ukrainian people. These materials were well preserved, as during the Second World War they were evacuated to the territory of the Russian Federation. They are extremely informative and give an opportunity to analyze the preconditions of the tragedy, methods and technologies for implementing the very genocide, demographic consequences ",said Petrenko.
