November 9, 2007, Head of the Supervisory Board of the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Fund Kateryna Yushchenko took part in the presentation of the Ukrainian reprint of Robert Conquest’s book, The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine. Other participants in the event, taking place at the residence of the ambassador of the US to Ukraine, were Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to Ukraine William Taylor, writer and public figure Yevhen Sverstiuk, translator of the book into Ukrainian Zoryna Korablina, and Director of the Teren Publishers Andriy Kryshtalsky.
Addressing the audience, Mrs. Yushchenko thanked everybody who helped to make this publication happen. “I thank Mr. Robert Conquest for being among the first to tell the world the truth about the manmade famine, systematically organized by the Stalin regime,” she said. “We are grateful to all countries that support us and help us make sure that the Holodomor famine never repeats itself.”
“I assure you that I, personally, along with my husband and the Ukraine 3000 Fund I head, as well as the whole conscious patriotic Ukrainian community, will do everything to bring back from oblivion every soul killed in the famine,” Mrs. Yushchenko said.
The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine by renowned American historian Robert Conquest was written in 1986 and is one of the most thorough researches of this horrible tragedy. It was owing to this book that the world had learned about the manmade famine killing around 10 million people in Ukraine.
The first edition of this book in Ukrainian was published in 1993. The Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Fund initiated a reprint to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Holodomor. The book came out at the Lutsk-based Teren Publishing House with a pressrun of 5,000, and its copies will be sent to libraries in every Ukraine’s oblast.
