Reviews
In her book, she successfully deconstructs numerous assumptions about Ukraine and its relations with Russia. Considering the current crisis and the upsurge of reporting on both countries, this is a vital and timely contribution. It provides the reader with reliable and well-researched information on Ukrainian history that serves as a basis for understanding its current affairs. By the end of the book, the reader will be able to understand today's Russian disinformation campaigns by going back to their origins. Whether an expert or a novice, this is a worthwhile journey, and Victoria Malko makes the book as illuminating as any reader might hope for., Victoria A. Malko's important new study of the Holodomor, the horrific Ukrainian killer famine of 1932-1933, is wide-ranging and deeply researched. Focusing primarily on the tragic fate of the Ukrainian intelligentsia and especially on the role of teachers in the events, Malko skillfully guides the reader through the multiple dimensions of the genocide, from its origins in the Soviet Leninist-Stalinist system to its effects on independent Ukraine today., This excellent work is one of the most sustained scholarly books I know that examines Moscow's assault on Ukraine in the early Soviet period. From the beginning to the end, it makes a clear and forceful argument for how consistently violent Moscow's political treatment of Ukraine was. It demolishes Moscow's claims about its policy of promoting Slavic brotherhood and internationalism. It presents a convincing argument on Moscow's use of political terror as a weapon to subjugate Ukraine to its will. This impressive book is indispensable for the study of Ukraine and the Soviet Union and for genocide studies in general., In what may be a foretaste of future trends in scholarship, Victoria A. Malko's excellent monograph unapologetically treats the famine of 1932-1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians as a genocide. Unlike much Holodomor literature, Malko shifts the focus of her analysis from the peasantry to the intelligentsia--and to teachers in particular--a wise move that enables her to broaden the focus of Moscow's genocidal policies as well as to incorporate Stalin's cultural revolution into her narrative. All in all, Malko's is a worthy contribution to the burgeoning literature on the Holodomor., Victoria A.

Malko's outstanding study is an indispensable read for those who hope to acquire nuanced understandings about the genocide in Soviet Ukraine known as the Holodomor--a tremendous cultural disruption that occurred in Ukraine from the late 1920s, culminating in the 1930s, when a significant part of the Ukrainian intelligentsia was exterminated by the Soviet regime. This text reveals that the Holodomor-genocide was designed to subdue the crystallization of a new cultural and ethnic identity in Ukraine, and explores the strategies of denial employed by perpetrators of the genocide and their long-lasting effects they have had on the future of the nascent nation., Meticulously researched and documented, Victoria A.

Naimark, Stanford University, Malko provides an authoritative account of the roots of the 1932-33 famine in Ukraine as a result of Stalin's collectivization drive. Known as the Holodomor (death by hunger), the famine, as she argues, was the culmination of a deliberate policy to destroy Ukrainian independence, meeting the legal definition of genocide. Malko traces the evolution of Stalin's policies in the decade following the Soviet state's formation after 1917.... Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty., The Ukrainian Intelligentsia and Genocide would be chilling reading at the best of times, but as we are witnessing another Russian invasion of Ukraine with President Vladimir Putin denying Ukrainian peoplehood and discussing rebuilding the empire, it is a timely reminder that the ghosts of the near past may not only be anything for the history books., Malko provides an authoritative account of the roots of the 1932-33 famine in Ukraine as a result of Stalin's collectivization drive. Known as the Holodomor (death by hunger), the famine, as she argues, was the culmination of a deliberate policy to destroy Ukrainian independence, meeting the legal definition of genocide. Malko traces the evolution of Stalin's policies in the decade following the Soviet state's formation after 1917. She focuses on efforts to undermine the independent national intelligentsia (particularly teachers) in favor of cadres who had assimilated Soviet values and would implement Moscow's orders. Chapter 3 details the persecution of intellectuals in the 1920s--for example, more than 30,000 officials were arrested in a purge of nationalists in Kharkiv, then the capital of Ukraine, in 1930 (p. 97). Chapter 4 examines the collectivization drive and the repression of resistance. Chapter 5 discusses the Soviet state's decades-long denial of the historical record, which continued under its Russian successor, and debates over the Holodomor in the West.... Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty., Malko's book is highly recommended. It provides the reader with reliable and well-researched information on Ukrainian history that serves as a basis for understanding its current affairs.... This is a book that can truly be described as inter-disciplinary as it deals with a complex topic using an appropriate approach that integrates politics (power), history (Communism), linguistics (terminologies), economics (collectivization), and psychology (trauma). Malko illustrates how and why it is important to take a closer look at a tragic period of history, where the preconditions and aftermath are of equal importance (in terms of analysis) as the genocide itself. Anyone that is interested in the core of any conflict must go back and learn more about its origins and preconditions. For those interested in making sense of the ongoing conflict between Russian and Ukraine and the former's aggression towards the latter, this means going back nearly a hundred years. Whether an expert or a novice, it is a worthwhile journey and Victoria Malko makes this journey as enjoyable and illuminating as any reader might hope for.

Synopsis
This study focuses on the first group targeted in the genocide known as the Holodomor: Ukrainian intelligentsia, the "brain of the nation," using the words of Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term genocide and enshrined it in international law. The study's author examines complex and devastating effects of the Holodomor on Ukrainian society during the 1920-1930s. Members of intelligentsia had individual and professional responsibilities. They resisted, but eventually they were forced to serve the Soviet regime. Ukrainian intelligentsia were virtually wiped out, most of its writers and a third of its teachers. The remaining cadres faced a choice without a choice if they wanted to survive. The author analyzes how and why this process occurred and what role intellectuals, especially teachers, played in shaping, contesting, and inculcating history. Crucially, the author challenges Western perceptions of the all-Union famine that was allegedly caused by ad hoc collectivization policies, highlighting the intentional nature of the famine as a tool of genocide, persecution, and prosecution of the nationally conscious Ukrainian intelligentsia, clergy, and grain growers. The author demonstrates the continuity between Stalinist and neo-Stalinist attempts to prevent the crystallization of the nation and subvert Ukraine from within by non-lethal and lethal means., This book examines the Soviet genocide in Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s, from its Marxist-Leninist roots to its subsequent cover-up and denial. The author analyzes the role intellectual elites--especially teachers--played in shaping, contesting, and inculcating the history of the genocide.
