The aim of this thesis is to define the role of Holodomor, the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, in the politics of nation building in Ukraine. With this goal in mind I aim to examine the impact of Holodomor in (re)creating the national consciousness, identity and memory in the post-Soviet period. In order to better analyze why Holodomor became one of the central pillars of Ukrainian national identity, I will discuss the history of famine years. I also provide a brief history of Ukraine in order to highlight the relationship between the national identity formation and periods of independence in history. Since policy makers play a significant role in nation building projects, I analyze the attitude of Ukrainian presidents towards Holodomor. The ethno-symbolist approach is used in the analysis of the study in the thesis.
