Interesting. Only Jews was allowed to emigrate to USA from USSR. As for non-Jews, only some spies or high-ranked scientists, artists or athletes could do it duiring visits abroad. Ukrainian farmers definitely was not on that list.
Aslo, some Ukrainians, who well served as Germany collaborants had a chance to escape with retreating Germans during WWII. But again, barely it was Ukrainian farmers.
So, how your family left Ukraine after holodomor being farmers? Had some special paper signed by Stalin? Or just was Jews, and not farmers? Or moved out as Germany collaborants during WWII?
