On the fourth Saturday of November, Ukraine commemorates the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933, a tragic event that marked the history of Ukraine, and in 1946-1947, the history of Bessarabia. This year, the commemoration is held under the theme "Light a candle for the victims of the Holodomor. In the fight for Ukraine, support the soldiers." A commemoration was also held in Chisinau, where participants spoke about one of the worst national catastrophes - the organized famine - which claimed millions of lives.
