The Ukrainian Holodomor (famine-genocide) in 1932-1933 be-came for Ukrainians the same, as Holocaust for Jewries and carnage in 1915 for Armenians. As a tragedy the scales of which it is impossible to understand, hunger injured nation, leaving on its body deep social, psychological and demographic scars which carries until now. Holodomor gave up black shade on methods and achievements of the soviet system. Researchers name the different numbers of lost during holodomor, but in any case, the question is about millions of innocent victims. Taking into account indirect victims, by provisional calculations, Holodomor took away life of 14 million people. The reason of Holodomor was the policy of the Stalin-mode in relation to Ukrainians as a nation and, in particular, in relation to peasants as to the class. The primary objective of organization of artificial famine was injury of social base of resistance of Ukrainians against communist power and providing of total control from the side of the state of all layers of population. Opponents cannot explain the enormous amount of victims of famine, but deny assertions, that soviet authority could destroy people. It is not needed to explain to the oversea opponents of genocide theory, why Nazis, for example, exterminated Jewries, and they cannot imagine, that own government destroyed not political opponents, but millions far from a policy children, women and old people. The problem of Holodomor to this day has political character. Noteworthy the aspect of famine is an attempt to delete it from public consciousness. Yet to quite recent time soviet position was taken to objection of fact of famine. If all scales of tragedy got winds, obviously, it would inflict serious harm by that image of country, that Moscow aimed to create both for itself at home, and abroad. That is why authority long forbade openly talk about famine in SRSR. One of opponent's arguments of Holodomor confession in supposition that in the genocide of the Ukrainian people will accuse today's Russia. Besides, Russia provokes such idea through the statements of MFA. And although in society a consensus already formed in relation to confession of Holodomor as an act of genocide, however by virtue of insufficient knowledge, propagandas of the proper political forces and unclear position of political leaders, part of Ukrainian population does not understand the real consequences of this tragedy. Ukrainian nation is tragic nation, because its own historians continue until now to look at own history, through Russian glasses. From their point of view - there was not genocide, because in the imperial seeing there is the unique Slavonic people, two parts of which are little variously named. While hungry pestilence will remain a white spot in history, until then humanity will not see all chain genocides in XX century.

Although the Holodomor — the Ukrainian famine of 1932–1933 — has played a major role in the cultural memory of Ukrainian diasporic communities in the United States and Canada, relatively few North American children’s books directly represent this traumatic historical event. One exception, however, is Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch’s and Michael Martchenko’s picture book, Enough (2000), which adapts a traditional Ukrainian folktale in order to introduce young readers to the historical and political circumstances in which this artificial famine occurred. By drawing on what scholar Jack Zipes has identified as the “subversive potential” of fairy tales, Skrypuch and Martchenko critique the ironies and injustices that undergirded Soviet forced collectivization and Stalinist famine policy. Additionally, they explicitly set a portion of their fairy tale adaptation in Canada in order to gesture to the role played by the Holodomor in structuring diasporic memory and identity, especially in relation to post-Independence era Ukraine.

Несмотря на то, что Голодомор — голод в Украине 1932–1933 гoдов — сыграл важную роль в культурной памяти украинских диаспорных общин в Соединенных Штатах и Канаде, относительно мало североамериканских детских книг описывает это травматическое событие. Важное место в этом контексте является книга Марши Форчук Скрыпух и Майкла Мартченко «Достаточно» (2000), которая адаптирует традиционную украинскую сказку для того, чтобы познакомить молодых читателей с историческими и политическими обстоятельствами этого искусственного голода. Опираясь на то, что ученый Джек Зайпс назвал «подрывным потенциалом» сказок, Скрыпух и Мартченко критикуют иронию и несправедливость советской принудительной коллективизации и политики сталинского голода. Кроме того, они установили часть своей сказочной адаптации в Канаде, чтобы показать роль Голодомора в структурировании диаспорной памяти и самобытности, и связи последних с независимой Украиной.
