Better pictures of the Holodomor exhibit in the 10 Stages of Genocide Gallery at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. [Click pic to embiggen. Or open in new tab for even bigger but also grainier.]
Please consider donating to the DHHRM if possible. You may donate in the name of others, such as those who have passed and have asked for donations in their memory be made to institutions of their choice. 
The Empty Baskets graphic novel mentioned on the plaque is available for purchase with 9 others in a collection that you can find at each ‘stage’ exhibit (hence 10 stages of genocide) from the DHHRM museum’s gift shop here. 
The Holodomor was an attempt to wipe out the Ukrainian population of the then-USSR. Up to 10 million died of hunger, froze to death, were shot or hanged, sent to Siberia (where they then also died). To this day it is still denied as being genocide as well as whether or not it was actually a thing that happened at all (Some people will actually claim the Holodomor happened far more readily than the Holocaust. Which kinda turns into people believing that anyone who says the Holodomor happened has to be a nazi/neo-nazi/fascist which of course is Holodomor denial yay paradox). And yes, it didn’t just affect Ukrainians but Poles and some Russians as well (along with a few other ethnicities) but the victim target was predominantly Ukrainian. Incidentally, another stage in the 10 Stages is ‘Denial’ which is exemplified by the Armenian Genocide, (in)famously noted as attaining more than 100 years of denial. 
Anyone who knows the story of the Holodomor cannot have that idea coexist with the idea that anything Russia is doing now is not just another extension of trying to wipe out the remainder of the lines of Ukrainians who have been rebelling since time immemorial. When we talk about how we survived everything, we mean it. We mention the Holodomor constantly as proof of our spirit that Russia has been trying to crush for at least 100 years. It is little exaggeration to say that the Holodomor is one of the first dominoes to fall to bring us to this point of the war in Ukraine. How can you believe otherwise when Commies have been caught saying exactly what we’ve been saying: that the Holdomor was genocide and they chose us because they couldn’t allow us to be alive thanks to what all we represented and treasured: Freedom. (To say nothing of being considered too stupid, too ugly, too lazy, etc.,) And we all know P*tin has lied about the real reasons for the war as we all know the truth: he and Russia can’t stand that Ukraine has been trying to become more independent, to join the geopolitical stage. Same fucking reasons. Same fucking war crimes. Perhaps the same fucking end as the original mass murdering fuckhead of Russia.

Russian Troops Executed One of Their Own for Helping Ukrainian Civilians—Then Covered It Up, Report Says
Russian troops executed one of their own men in Kharkiv after the Feb. 24 invasion and then concealed his identity so they could use him in an elaborate propaganda ploy.
That’s according to a report released Wednesday by the independent news outlet Verstka, which tracked down the identity of the young soldier nearly six months after his death in the Kharkiv region.
Ivan Levankov was killed on the first day of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, as reports of Russian troops targeting civilians began to trickle out. And his death at the time was no secret—it was captured practically in real time by a Ukrainian woman named Karolina Perlifon who posted footage from the dramatic scene on Instagram.
“The Russians killed my mother!” Perlifon wrote in the viral post, alongside gut-wrenching footage of herself recounting how Russian forces had opened fire on her and her mother as they tried to flee the invading troops.
In the midst of the chaos, she wrote, two young Russian troops “who were barely holding their weapons” had rushed towards them, and one of them threw her to the ground to shield her from heavy artillery fire, yelling, “Don’t shoot… we’re your [guys].”
That soldier was immediately shot dead and collapsed on top of her, she said.
Russian propaganda went into overdrive with claims a Russian soldier had “heroically” been killed by Ukrainian “Nazis” as he shielded two civilians from artillery fire. The story was a win for the Kremlin’s narrative that Russian troops were on a humanitarian mission, and it spread like wildfire in Russian media.
But the identity of the soldier was always omitted, and he quickly became known only as “the unknown soldier” in pro-Kremlin accounts of that day.
And according to Perlifon, the secrecy surrounding his identity had only one goal: to keep the public from ever finding out he was killed by his own men for helping Ukrainians.
“He died saving us,” Perlifon was quoted telling Verstka. “That soldier was with us, and he was shot dead by his own people.”
The Russian soldier who’d been with Levankov at the time of his death, Valery Vasilyev, was wounded that day and treated at a Ukrainian hospital. Footage released by Ukraine’s Security Service later showed him identifying Levankov for the first time as he testified that they had been ordered by their commanders to block roads out of Kharkiv and fire at civilians as they tried to evacuate.
But when they spotted Perlifon and her mother, they tried to help get them to safety, he said, and “the lieutenant colonel noticed that we were saving civilians, and he gave the order to shoot us and them.”
It was not immediately clear if Vasilyev is still in Ukrainian custody, as a list of Russian prisoners published by Ukrainian authorities was no longer available.
According to Verstka, Levankov wasn’t laid to rest until late June, when a regional newspaper in his hometown in Russia’s Smolensk region announced his funeral on social media with no details about the circumstances of his death. Wreaths from Russia’s Defense Ministry were laid at his gravesite, where his date of death was listed as Feb. 24.
But while local authorities and religious figures have made a show of publicizing and attending the funerals of other Russian troops from the area killed in Ukraine, Verstka reports that Levankov’s burial was bizarrely kept secret. Local lawmakers and religious authorities from the small town where he’d grown up knew nothing about it, and the deputy governor said his name wasn’t listed in the region’s list of military deaths, even though he had featured so prominently in pro-Kremlin propaganda.
For Perlifon, it makes perfect sense for Russian authorities to erase Levankov from public memory, because, as she told Verstka, for them “it’s easier to simply bury him, and let no one know about him or remember him. To tell the truth? They will never in their lives tell the truth.”

"Today we are obligated to clearly side with the Truth and not with the Lie and brutal force. It's not possible to honestly support Ukraine and in the same time to devise for russia to save face. The history teaches us that those who try to sit on both chairs*, end up sooner or later on the ground. Lithuania had chosen her friends long time ago and she will never betray them."
President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, at the special sitting of Verhovna Rada on The Day of Ukrainian Statehood, commemorating the Baptism of Kyiv Rus in 988 under the reign of Volodymyr the Great.

Morning Thoughts (and request)
So I was talking to another frontline volunteer and he says "I've gathered a lot of reading material btw, if there's anything you need let me know." And I say: "Yes, especially: Advanced combat medicine stuff especially treatment of phosphorus burns/fumes poisoning, and other chemical warfare related med info, ideally I'd want to talk to somebody who has actual field experience with this stuff though. Also trench warfare is a topic that concerns us that nobody had experience with before coming here and we're all figuring it out on the go. All kinds of artillery related specifics, as in numbers (ranges, angles, radiuses if that's the plural of radius, velocities, reload times etc), are always useful. And specs of all kinds of soviet armored vehicles (eg which tanks, that the Russians have, have thermals and what's their range, where are the optics exactly, weak spots of this or that type of vehicle etc.)
(Jesus Fucking Christ. Anyways....)
If anybody who reads this has any (serious) info (not reddit style this guy said x) on these topics, or knowledge to share (privately!), or knows somebody who has hands on experience with these kinds of things who would be willing to talk with me, please get in touch with me!
