post-Holodomor resettlement
홀로도모르 이후 재정착
The post-Holodomor resettlement was a state policy in 1933–1934 that moved peasants from other Soviet regions into collective farms in Ukraine whose populations and labor forces had been severely reduced by the Holodomor. Authorities sought to repopulate the countryside and restore collective agriculture and grain production, while the process also reshaped local demographics and deepened state control over rural Ukraine.
In depth
In November and December 1933, Soviet authorities approved sending approximately 117,000 settlers from the Russian SFSR and the Byelorussian SSR to devastated Ukrainian villages. A comparable contingent arrived in January and February 1934, although many of the Russian settlers later returned. The policy was an administrative response to the post-famine labor shortage, but it must also be understood in the context of coercive collectivization and the restructuring of rural populations.
