Answer:
The Great Ukrainian Famine was a genocide on Ukrainian territory between 1932 and 1933, in which approximately 5 million people died.
The famine was caused in large part by the policies of the Soviet Union government under Stalin, which vigorously pursued the collectivization of agriculture. The farms would merge into collective farms, freeing up labor for industrialization. Stalin's five-year plan of 1928 would be financed by exports, and most of those exports consisted of cereals. This met with great resistance from the peasants, including especially those in Ukraine with its tradition of freedom, who hid their grain and slaughtered their livestock instead of handing it over to state farms. As punishment, millions of peasants were deported to Siberia.
