Description
The Conquest Prize for Contribution to Holodomor Studies is a biennial award offered by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta. It recognizes the author of an outstanding article, published in print or online, that advances understanding of the Holodomor. A jury of eminent specialists selects the winning contribution.
The prize honours historian Robert Conquest and his groundbreaking book, The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine. Published in 1986, the book marked a watershed in the study of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932–33 and brought widespread awareness of the Holodomor. The award commemorates that scholarly legacy through recognition of exceptional articles.
