The film was made before the 75th Anniversary of the 1932-33 Famine in Ukraine. The documentary reveals the causes, the course and the extent of this terrifying recent history. The name of the film reflects the formula of terror invented by Vladimir Lenin, which allowed the Bolsheviks to keep peoples in full obedience for seven decades. It was this formula that led to the tragic social and humanitarian catastrophe of the Ukrainian nation, the consequences of which have not yet been overcome today.

The series has an unusual design for the documentary and consists of three monologues ("The King of Famine", "The Great Fracture" and "The Silent Bell") on behalf of different characters: the Bolshevik who participated directly in those tragic events, the peasant who fell victim to it activities, and finally our contemporary, who learned about the Holodomor more than half a century ago.
