We'll return in a moment to what Lavra is. On my way to the Lavra, I stopped by the Holodomor Memorial, raised in memory of the famines that have hit Ukraine, and not the least the great famine of 1932-33 when the Ukrainian fields produced a very good harvest, but the produce was locked in and shipped to Central Asia. Almost four million Ukrainian perished.
