Abstract

In the context of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, widely characterised as a genocidal war, as well as ongoing globalisation processes and Ukraine’s integration into European and global communities, renewed attention to historical memory has become par- ticularly important. The Holodomor of 1932–1933 occupies a central place in this process and requires continuous scholarly re-examination. It is essential not only to preserve the memory of this tragedy but also to ensure its accurate interpretation, particularly in terms of its recognition as a systematic assault on Ukrainian identity. This necessitates further theoretical and methodo- logical research across both academic and public discourse. The historiography and archaeography of the Holodomor are extensive and have been addressed in numerous specialised studies. However, the subject remains far from exhausted. This is due to the ongoing discovery of new archival materials, the application of new methodolog- ical approaches, and the emergence of new research questions. In this context, historical-legal analysis is of particular relevance, especially given the growing importance of interdisciplinary approaches. At the same time, there remains a relative lack of research on civil society in Ukrain- ian history, particularly during the period of the New Economic Policy.
