*The Great Famine in **Ukraine**:
The Holodomor and Its Consequences, 1933 to the Present*

*  17-18 November 2008*

The year 2008 marks the 75^th anniversary of the Great Famine of 
1932-1933, now often referred to by its Ukrainian name Holodomor 
(extermination by hunger).  This man-made affliction ravaged, most 
devastatingly, Soviet Ukraine and the areas primarily settled by 
Ukrainians in the North Caucasus (the Kuban region) at the height of 
forced collectivization in the USSR.

*Earlier projects at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute pioneered 
studies in the history of the Great Famine.  **It is the aim of this 
conference, however, to move beyond revisiting the background, course 
and analysis of the events of 1932-33.  **Instead, it aims to forge 
forward to investigate the momentous subsequent impact of the Holodomor 
in Ukraine, in a framework which will examine its short-, mid-, and 
long-term consequences that reach, indeed, to our own day.*

We are pleased to invite you to the conference which will be held at the 
Harvard Faculty Club, 20 Quincy St., Cambridge*.  For a full program 
with participants, on-line registration, travel information and
