What were the long-term effects of the Holodomor on Ukraine?

The Holodomor, a man-made famine orchestrated by the Soviet government in Ukraine in the early 1930s, resulted in devastating long-term effects on the country. The loss of an estimated 3.9 million lives and destruction of agricultural infrastructure had lasting impacts on Ukrainian society, economy, and culture. The trauma and collective memory of the Holodomor continue to shape the Ukrainian identity and influence relations with Russia.

Economic recovery was slow, and the psychological scars of the famine lingered for generations, contributing to a deep-seated fear of food insecurity and government control.
