The population of Olenivka village (Fastivskyi district, Kyivska region) suffered from Holodomor-genocide of 1932-1933.
During 1929-1930, two collective farms were created in the village. One was named after All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, the other was called “The 12th anniversary of October” (“Dvanadtsiatyrichchia Zhovtnia”). In 1932, the state farm was organized. Two kolkhozes and the whole village were put placed onto the “black boards” for the non-fulfillment of the grain procurement plan. During the Holodomor years, 316 people died in the village.
The mass burial is located at the local cemetery (Yuvileinastreet), on the distance of 1 kilometer from the village council. At the mass grave the wooden cross was installed. In 1994, in Olenivka village, the monument to 1932-1933 Holodomor victims was installed. The State Enterprise “Olenivske” was its author.
