As the policies of Ukrainisation were halted (1931) and replaced by massive Russification approximately four-fifths of the Ukrainian cultural elite, intellectuals, writers, artists and clergy, had been "eliminated", executed or imprisoned, in the following decade.
The term was coined for this - Executed renaissance.
Many would argue that Holodomor (1932-33, 2-10 millions of Ukrainian speaking people died) was a part of Russification campaign.
