No, they do not. The Wikipedia article says "Holodomor" in both Latin and Cyrillic characters. In Ukrainian, the glyph represented by Unicode U+0413 is pronounced like the Latin "H". The Latin hard "G" sound, in Ukrainian, is represented by Unicode U+0490.
The refusal to recognize this is but one example of Stalin's de-Ukrainization.
"Holod" means "cold" in all Slavic languages (with variations, e.g. "hlad").
"Golod" means "hunger" in all Slavic languages (with variations, e.g. "glad").
Sorry to you and the other Russian-sympathizers, but no.
The Ukrainian word for "hunger" begins with the "h" sound as in the English word "horse." The Ukrainian word for "cold" begins with the "kh" sound that has no analogue in English. There is no Ukrainian word "golod" starting with the hard "g" sound of the English "goal." This was just one part of the Stalinist de-Ukrainianization which you seem to support.
I have no idea who is Kaganovich
If this is actually true and not a troll, then you are not sufficiently informed to even be engaging in this discussion. Start here.
Objections are against labeling the "Golodomor" "a genocide".
The mere fact that you write "Golodomor" and not "Holodomor" shows where your sympathies lie, and is sufficient evidence that it was not, as you say, indifference, but rather active and explicit de-Ukrainianization.
Was Kaganovich not out to explicitly destroy the Ukrainian people?
How many of these people are devout Orthodox, listen to traditional music, wear appropriate clothing, and spurn Western influences?
Forgive me, I didn't realize I was talking to Solzhenitsyn.
What in the world is "appropriate clothing"? What is "traditional music"? Which century would you like these people to live in? If they choose to be 21st century Europeans, that's their choice, not yours.
I'd rather let the Church and those Ukrainians proud of their culture decide. And they wouldn't decide Yushchenko.
I think most of those who froze on the Maidan back in December of 2004 were and are proud of their culture, and they have decided. Were you there? Are you aware of the risks they took, the sacrifices they made?
Or do you subscribe to the theory that they were all bought and paid for by Soros?
Orthodoxy is the historic faith of most of Ukraine
One should be careful in using words like "historic" or "always". What faith did Volodymyr take on in 988? Is that even a meaningful question, pre-Schism? So what does "historic" mean? Or "always Russian-speaking"? What was being spoken when Kyiv was golden domes and Muscovy was a swamp?
A Belgian solution may indeed have been found. But it wasn't. The Ukrainians I talk to know they are Ukrainians. They don't want to be Poles or Belgians or Americans. Let them decide, OK? Your cultural chauvinism, saying what they are "supposed" to want, is as bad as what you deride.
"Occupation"? So this is how US propaganda works -- if it worked for Baltic states with their neo-Nazi (literally!) governments, they will try to tell Ukrainians that Ukraine was "occupied" by Russia, and see if this bullshit will stick?
Bullshit? Tell that to the 7 million starved to death by Stalin. Oh wait, you can't -- they're dead.
Ukrainian young people want to align themselves so much with the West
Deciding this for themselves is, then, anathema to you? They are supposed to want what you want?
this is Ukraine rapidly getting the life sucked out of it by a new administration that doesn't care about its own country
Led by a president who very nearly gave his life just as a consequence of running for President, to throw off the Russian yoke -- that's how little he cares about his own country? Who speaks Ukrainian -- not Russian -- at every official function because Ukrainian is the official language. His language. A language Yanukovich doesn't even speak.
(but at least the Russians are fellow Orthodox)
Many Ukrainians are not Orthodox. Many of those that are do not belong to the Moscow Patriarchate.
There's MP3-player phones now and the iPod still sells like cold beer on a hot day - why?
Maybe because there's sufficient market share of people (like me) who want their phone to be JUST A FSCKING PHONE! I don't want it to be a camera, I don't want it to be an MP3 player, I don't want it to be a GPS, just a goddam phone.
If today's laws were around 10 years ago, Compaq would not have been able to legally reverse-engineer the IBM BIOS, and the PC revolution would have been set back several years
Can't believe what'll get a +5 Insightful these days.
Compaq reverse-engineered the IBM BIOS nearly 25 years ago. The company was founded in 1982. It is now 2006.
"Beta" used to actually mean something, like limited pre-production testing. Have you ever been in a real beta program? With an NDA, and a testing coordinator, and weekly status reports? "Beta" now is just Google's (and others') excuse for "let's avoid actual responsibility for as long as possible." It's not supposed to mean, or didn't used to mean, "Hey, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, we don't actually care."
FTFA: "Do your homework and stay ahead of the threats, most of all, less branding when making security decisions, but high preferences!"
Could the person who called this article "well-written" be so kind as to tell me what this means? The article is filled with crap like this; I'd give it a C-, at best, as a freshman paper.
Grammer tip: 'Effect' is used as a noun. 'Affect' is used as a verb.

I would like to support my senators who did the right thing but how am I if I have no idea how they voted?
I'm going to be modded flamebait and probably earn my first "foe", but I can't help it. If you can't figure out how to determine how your senators (you only have two that you can vote for or against) voted on any particular issue, especially if you have the ability to use Slashdot and (apparently) the ability to run a Web site, then you shouldn't be voting at all. This is 10th grade civics, for God's sake.
Instead of just making a toaster, why not make a toaster that learns how different people like their toast?
My toaster has a dial on the front, that adjusts from "lighter" to "darker". It's actually very easy to use, and I don't have to log in before toasting my bagel. It's really pretty well "simplified" already. How much simpler do you propose to make it?

No.
A Ukrainian dictionary also returns "golod" as a translation for the English "hunger": http://www.ukrainiandictionary.com/listing.asp

Please explain Kaganovich.

You mean misquoting. Ben said "safety", not "security". An important distinction, IMO.
I thought he was making a stand for what he believes in.

How about if a respect for grammar were to "weave themselves into the fabric of our everyday life?"
