In November 2006, when the Ukrainian parliament was deliberating a draft law recognizing the famine of 1932-1933 as genocide against the Ukrainian people, the Communists and the overwhelming majority of regional experts refused to vote for the draft proposed by President Viktor Yushchenko. Only one of the 435 members present pressed the 'no' button. This only deputy was Golub.
