The government of Ukraine has designated 2018 as “Ukrainian Genocide Remembrance Year.” The emphasis during this year’s commemoration of the 85th anniversary of the Genocide-Famine Holodomor 1932-1933 in Ukraine is for the Ukrainian nation, its diaspora and freedom-loving people throughout the world, including here in the vast American heartland, to preserve the memory of the approximate 10,000,000 victims of this horrific event that will forever live in infamy.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – On April 29, 1918, ships of the Black Sea Fleet raised the Ukrainian flag at 1600 hours, marking a victory of the Ukrainian movement towards independence as the fleet came under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian National Republic.

It is considered the birthdate of the Ukrainian naval fleet.
