The 14th Traveling Docudays UA festival, which will take place in many regions of Ukraine until the end of December, has visited Kryvyi Rih, too.

 

Since this year’s festival is dedicated to the problem of climate change and environmental protection, a local #Ecoview competition has been announced as a part of the festival. The competition aims to draw the attention of active citizens not only to the general problem of climate change, but also to specific negative effects of human activities on the environment in Kryvyi Rih area.

 

The festival organizers in Kryvyi Rih also could not avoid the very painful topic of Ukrainian history, the topic of Holodomor of 1932-33. It is the subject of the exhibition Executed by Hunger. The Invisible Genocide of Ukrainians, which will be demonstrated in the cultural and civic center SHELTER+ between December 2 and 9. The exposition presents the works provided by the Memorial to the Victims of Holodomor National Museum. These are educational posters, official documents and memories of the witnesses of those events.

 

The special guest of the exhibition opening was Natalia Romanets, a doctor in History, a professor of the Kryvyi Rih Pedagogic University. She studies the Soviet state terror of 1920s-1930s and repressions against ethnic minorities in Dnipropetrovsk region. She is the author and co-author of 6 monographs and of the National Book of Memory of the Holodomor Victims.
