ПОЯСНЕННЯ ДИЗАЙНУ:The monument is a stark rectangular slab of black granite nearly 12' tall. The Crosses are inscribed as symbols for both sides of the monUntitled 1ument. The art side's pattern of crosses is set against a pitch black background. At the top of the stone, the crosses sit uneasily at angles upon the mounds of mass graves. The disturbed landscape tumbles downwards to the larger crosses and pieces of trampled wheat are scattered as the remains of what has been taken away. The word "MILLIONS" has been repeated 7 times to underline the extent of the losses of the Famine Genocide. The crosses at the bottom third of the monument are more ornate and emerge from this dark past with vitality and new life. They express the triumph of survival over Stalinism, Soviet Communism and Russian domination. The Map side illustrates both current Ukrainian lands and those areas which at that time were controlled by Poland, Romania,Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. The crosses of two sizes indicate areas that suffered more than 25% of population loss and less than 25% of population loss as casualties of the Famine Genocide.
