But when Lenin died in 1924, he was succeeded by Joseph Stalin, one of the most ruthless humans
ever to hold power.To Stalin, the burgeoning national revival movement and
continuing loss of Soviet influence in the Ukraine was completely
unacceptable. A propaganda campaign was started utilizing eager
young Communist activists who spread out among the country folk
attempting to shore up the people’s support for the Soviet regime.
However, their attempts failed. Despite the propaganda, ongoing
coercion and threats, the people continued to resist through acts of
rebellion and outright sabotage. They burned their own homes rather
than surrender them. They took back their property, tools and farm animals
from the collectives, harassed and even assassinated local Soviet authorities.
