Introduced
11/27/23  

Caption

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the 90th anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the Holodomor, should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.

Impact

If passed, SR472 would send a strong message regarding the historical atrocities faced by Ukraine, positioning itself firmly against the actions of the current Russian government. This resolution not only calls for an end to the violence against civilians but also seeks to affirm Ukraine’s national identity and sovereignty, which have been repeatedly undermined by Russia. Furthermore, it underlines the need for global recognition and the dissemination of knowledge concerning the Holodomor, reinforcing the moral obligation to remember and prevent such atrocities in the future.

Summary

Senate Resolution 472 expresses the sense of the Senate regarding the 90th anniversary of the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, known as the Holodomor. The resolution serves as a condemnation of Vladimir Putin's ongoing war against Ukraine, highlighting the existential threat it poses to the Ukrainian people while exacerbating global hunger problems. By commemorating this anniversary, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the repressive Soviet policies that led to the famine, which resulted in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians due to induced starvation.

Contention

The resolution acknowledges the systematic violations of human rights under Vladimir Putin’s government, comparing it to the historical repression experienced during Stalin's regime. A point of contention may arise regarding the diplomatic language used to address these issues, as it could heighten tensions between the United States and Russia. Some may question the effectiveness of such resolutions as they address historical grievances without directly impacting immediate political or military actions.
