The Security Service of Ukraine has published documents showing that demographers who showed a decline in the population of Ukraine to the level of 1926 in 1937 were accused of underestimating the figures and were shot. Among them is Olimpiy Kvitkin, a native of the Chernihiv region, who wrote about the deterioration of the life of the population under socialism.
On November 28, on the Holodomor Victims’ Remembrance Day, the Ukrainian Security Service declassified archival documents from the Main Directorate of State Security (a subdivision of the USSR NKVD), an indictment against the chief from the All-Union Census Bureau of the Central Directorate of National Economic Accounting, Olimpiy Kvitkin.
“Millions of Ukrainians died during the Holodomor of 1932-1933. But the Soviet government did not recognize any indication of the genocide it created. This is evidenced in the now declassified archives. The 1937 Union-wide census showed a true demographic crisis. Soviet demographers expected what should have happened in Ukraine. There were 35 million inhabitants at that time. But the census established only 29 million, that is, practically at the level of 1926, “the SBU said in a Facebook post.
Such results did not please the leadership of the Communist Party of the USSR, responsible for the census, including Kvitkin, accused of receiving “Artificially low and perverted numbers,” the SBU said.
“Although that little-known Kvitkin was not afraid to write the truth, that collectivization led to the extinction of the people, the most active and skilled peasants flee from collective farms and crumble, and socialism” does not improve, but suffocates the well-being of the broad masses of the population “, underlined the SBU.
The Ukrainian special service published an indictment in which a native of the Chernihiv region, Kvitkin, was accused of expressing “anti-Soviet” views. He was sentenced to death. SBU made public withthe correction of that sentence was carried out in Moscow.
