The Experience of the Famine

In the 19 twenties in the soviet union, there was actually encouragement of ukranians. There was a kind of policy ofafrm action where ucranian speakers had advantages. But it has to be made really clear that about 50 years the experience of the famine was not nation cravin. It was nation destroying. The first decent books have been written about it - we're still putting it together. And so, yes, i just want to stress that it matters in retrospect.
