By the end of the 1920s the Bolsheviks were ready to resume the drive for the creation of a truly communist society.
Under the leadership of Stalin, they revoked the concessions made during the NEP period and proceeded to impose socioeconomic and political changes on Soviet society that were so vast and radical that they are often referred to as the “Second Revolution.” But along with the massive transformations of the 1930s, there was also a return to certain traditional aspects of Russian politics, in particular rigid centralization and one-man rule.
For Ukrainians, this cataclysmic reversal put an end to their efforts to develop their own “road to communism.” Once again, as in the days of the tsars, Ukraine would become little more than a part of a larger whole. But, as never before in their history, Ukrainians would be forced to pay a dreadfully high price to attain goals they had not set for themselves.
