Horobiivkа

Myronivskyi district

Kyivskа region

Victims: 300

The population of Horobiyivka village (Myronivskyi district, Kyivska region) suffered from the Holodomor-genocide of 1932-1933 in Ukraine.

During the Holodomor years, the village belonged to Rzhyshchivskyi district. 99% of the population was made to enter kolkhoz by the methods of terror and starvation. The collective farm named after the Region Party committee was created there (its head was Korobenko F.). The head of the village council was Mykola Romanovych Panchenko. The peasants Andrii Ivanovych Murashko and Pylyp Yosypovych Maslo were dekulakized.

However, the “red brigades” were confiscating the bread from everyone, even from the houses, where were swollen people, in order to give the bread to the state. As a result, 300 inhabitants of the village died from starvation. 47 dead are identified, 15 of them are children.

The place of mass burial is located at the village cemetery. The wooden Memorial cross was installed there in 1996.
