@Outlaw_Estel @HolodResearchEd @UAlberta @coursera @H__Ukraine @HolodomorMuseum The course covers a broad spectrum of the history of famine and genocide around the world, using examples from various regions, including those you mentioned.

@CanadianInstit3 @HolodResearchEd @UAlberta @coursera @H__Ukraine @HolodomorMuseum Does the free course address the famine in Kazakhstan & the Volga region also? Too often 'Ukrainian World' ideological productions in 🇨🇦 skip important parts of the story. An interesting vote result on this topic in a class by UofA's John-Paul Himka. reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2009/…
