O jornal ucraniano-brasileiro Prácia: Prudentópolis e a repercussão do Holodomor (1932-1933)

Abstract

This work has the pretension of bringing to the analysis an event occurred in Soviet Ukraine in the early 1930s. The Holodomor, which in the literal translation means "death by hunger”, resulted in the death of millions of people in Ukraine under the aegis of the Stalinist government between 1932 and 1933. For this study, we will use theoretical contributions from history and the press, history and memory and oral history, from the newspaper Prácia, a newspaper founded in 1912 in the Ukrainian community of the south central region of the state of Paraná, Prudentópolis. This thesis also intends to understand how this information brought by the newspaper was perceived and assimilated by the Ukrainian immigrants who lived in Brazil and how the tragedy occurred in their homeland was reworked in the memory of these immigrants.
