• In Sept 2010, in a 50-year old
‘national institution’, academic TV
quiz show on the BBC called ‘University Challenge’, which still regularly gets an audience of over 3m viewers, both
Gareth & the Holodomor
were the subject of a ‘General Knowledge’ question…
• Though
the undergraduate contestants were clearly ignorant of the correct answer, that the question appeared on
mainstream national prime-time
television at all, shows that both Gareth and the Holodomor have together moved from airbrushed obscurity
to academic recognition in
the matter of a few years.
