A cache at a memorial to a tragic time in Ukrainian history.
The Holodomor was a forced famine that occurred in Ukraine under Stalin's rule. From 1932-33 millions of Ukrainians died of starvation as food was removed from the country and Ukrainians were left with nothing to eat.

This cache is hidden near a memorial & museum to the tragedy. I thought it would be an apt spot for a milestone cache, so the cache would have added meaning and enlighten visitors about a piece of Ukrainian history. Take time to wander the area, view the sculptures and reminders, and say a prayer that events like this don't ever happen again.
This cache was hidden the evening of June 24th, 2013 at about 10:30p.m.. It was the last of five caches I hid that day, and when it was published the following day after the others, it carried Ukraine to a new milestone: 300 active caches. It unfortunately appears at the beginning instead of the end of the 5 I hid that day, due to me using an older GC number I guess instead of grabbing a new one, but regardless this was the last of the five and became Ukraine's 300th active cache.
A recent finder said the cache was a few meters from where it should be and under a bush, so ignore the hint for now, but if someone could put it back where the hint and helper pic indicate it would be appreciated. Thanks!
