Q: Why did you decide to write a book about the Ukrainian famine right now? That attempt to establish an independent Ukraine didn’t go away after the famine and after Stalin murdered the Ukrainian elite; it just went underground. It emerged again in 1991 and we see it again in the battle for Ukrainian independence that continues today. In Ukrainian society, it was told to children and grandchildren until it became part of Ukraine’s hidden history. There are different values, different structures and different people running it.
