Stalin enforced a terror famine in Ukraine, known as the Holodomor, primarily to suppress Ukrainian nationalism and consolidate Soviet control over the region. The Soviet government imposed severe grain requisition quotas that left farmers with insufficient food for survival, aiming to eliminate resistance to collectivization and break the spirit of the Ukrainian peasantry. Additionally, the famine served as a means of punishing those who opposed Soviet policies and reinforcing the power of the state through fear. This tragic event resulted in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians and remains a deeply painful chapter in Ukraine's history.
Estimates of the number of people who died as a result of Joseph Stalin's policies vary widely, but it is commonly believed that around 20 million people perished due to his regime's actions, including the Great Purge, forced collectivization, and man-made famines such as the Holodomor in Ukraine. Some estimates go as high as 30 million or more when considering all aspects of repression and terror. The exact figure remains debated among historians due to the challenges of accurate record-keeping during that period.
The Great Purge was a campaign to eliminate any opposition to Stalin's power in the Soviet Union. This campaign of oppression included the purging of the Communist Party and its officials. This occurred during the 1930s.

The Terror Famine, also known as the Holodomor, refers to a devastating man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. It was characterized by widespread starvation, resulting in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians, and is widely considered a consequence of the policies enforced by Joseph Stalin's regime, including forced collectivization and grain requisition quotas. Many historians and scholars view the famine as a deliberate act of genocide aimed at suppressing Ukrainian nationalism and resistance to Soviet rule. The event remains a deeply significant and contentious topic in Ukrainian history and memory.
Stalin's genocide, characterized by the Great Purge and the Holodomor, began in the early 1930s. The Holodomor, a man-made famine in Ukraine, was particularly devastating from 1932 to 1933, resulting in millions of deaths. The Great Purge, targeting perceived political enemies and various groups within Soviet society, escalated from 1936 to 1938. Both events are considered part of Stalin's broader campaign of repression and terror during his leadership.
Stalin was motivated to implement terror as a governmental policy primarily to consolidate power and eliminate perceived threats to his leadership. He aimed to instill fear among the populace and suppress dissent, ensuring the loyalty of the Communist Party and the military. The use of state terror helped Stalin enforce rapid industrialization and collectivization, as it stifled opposition and facilitated the implementation of his ambitious policies. Ultimately, terror became a tool to maintain control and create a society that conformed to his vision of communism.
It was called the Big Purge. Stalin's reign of terror is referred to as the Great Terror or the Great Purge.
