Today’s theme is population. It also falls on Holodomor Remembrance Day in Ukraine, so I created this map — the depopulation of the Ukrainian SSR in 1933, showing excess deaths per 1,000 population due to the Holodomor (the Great Famine). Total population loss, including stillbirths, is estimated at 6–7 million.
