Genocide of the Ukrainian people: the Ministry of Internal Affairs publishes unique criminal cases for cannibalism in 1932-1933 (VIDEO)
The Holodomor is the most cruel and sadistic crime of the Kremlin committed against Ukrainians.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the project “Real History” shows evidence of this crime. Unique documents are published - criminal cases on cannibalism during the Holodomor.
The State Archive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine contains 1022 cases concerning cannibalism in 1932-1933. It is worth noting that this is only the number of criminal cases opened by the Soviet police. There were also group cases.
“I would very much like the materials that are discovered today to give impetus to serious historical legal and other scientific research. This is a very serious layer for research by physiologists, psychiatrists. This leads man to cannibalism. I would very much like our society to accept these facts through such a prism. People who resorted to cannibalism are victims of the Holodomor,” said State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Inna Yashchuk.
Among the published documents is the case of Anna Ivanovna Storcheus. Her husband and three children died due to starvation. The last fourth child, a girl named Nadezhda, was killed and eaten by a woman.
The peculiarity of all cases lies in their politicization and falsification. That is, outwardly they corresponded to the law. Formally, an investigation was conducted, the fact of the crime was established, the perpetrators were identified. However, the victims, people brought to cannibalism by the regime, were condemned for committing murder.
The mechanisms of artificial hunger and the fact of driving people to despair and madness are not documented in the case materials. Psychiatric examinations are almost not carried out, instead, doctors write in the conclusions “the look is dull, the eyes shine.” So, for example, it happened in the case of May 1933 on the accusation of a woman named Marcelina Antonovna.
In addition, among the archival cases - a lot concerns trophy-eating. This was the case of Yarova M. K. The case file states that after the death of a minor child from starvation, instead of burial, the fact of trapping was discovered.
The phenomenon of cannibalism became widespread at the height of the Holodomor, but famine is silent as such. Instead, the case files follow the obvious focus of the regime - people accused of cannibalism, did not want to join collective farms or had insufficient days of work. Also, the victims of the regime were Ukrainians who had an “inappropriate” class and social origin.
In the documents we trace “the name of 30 workers, declassified, divorced, influential emcee”, “Ukrainian, non-partisan, illiterate, lodir”.
In total, out of more than a thousand cases, there are isolated cases in which a person has been referred for psychiatric treatment. The absolute majority were sent to the NKVD camps for the construction of the Belare-Baltic Canal.
“It is important that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was able to preserve these historical documents. Each family has its own Holodomor history. When 5 or even 10 children died. The families were quite large at the time, but there was nothing to eat. When the last spike was taken. That's what we have to talk about. And to speak not only to our children in Ukraine, not only to remember, but also to speak to the whole world. So that this does not happen again”, - emphasizes the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Klymenko.
