Document Summary
Estimated that in march 1933, peak of genocide, about 25,000 ukrainians died per day. Absolutely no tolerance for local interests whatsoever. More than just a question of economic policy. For stalin, that meant a high degree of cultural and national unity. He couldn"t ignore a nation like ukraine. Stalin saw ukraine as his major roadblock. Made sure to eliminate all the bureaucrats, community leaders that were loyal to lenin bring in new generation that would be loyal to him. Hated that lenin was more effective than him. Exiled from the soviet union to mexico. Communist party of ukraine (branch of russian communist party until 1952) March 1918- bolshevik party in moscow requested that the ukrainian party form a single ukrainian unit (to unite 8 different branches in provinces) Russians in ukraine dominated the communist party of ukraine. Bolshevik propaganda held that the party represents oppressed peoples . Lenin and russians in ukraine rejected any calls by ukrainian leaders- eg, mykola.
