Masked young ultra-nationalists march in memory of the victims of the Holodomor famine in western Ukrainian city of Lviv on November 29, 2013. Ukraine marked 80 years since the Stalin-era Holodomor famine, one of the darkest pages in its entire history that left millions dead and which is regarded by many as a genocide. The 1932-33 famine took place as harvests dwindled and Josef Stalin's Soviet police enforced the brutal policy of collectivizing agriculture by requisitioning grain and other foodstuffs.
