Holodomor

Collectivization: This was a policy pursued by communist governments where agricultural land was taken from individual farmers and combined into large, state-run farms. It's like if all the small businesses in your town were forced to merge into one big corporation run by the government.

Great Purge: This was a campaign of political repression in the Soviet Union that occurred from 1936 to 1938. It involved widespread arrests, executions, and purges of the Communist Party and government officials. Imagine a school where students are expelled not for breaking rules but for disagreeing with the principal.

Genocide: This is an intentional action to destroy a people—usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group—in whole or in part. It’s like someone trying to eliminate all fans of a particular music band because they don’t like that band.
