"This is what happened during 1930s in my home Luhansk Region. Native population was exterminated in the Terror Hunger, and then the rabble from Voronezh was brought in to change the ethnic composition of Luhansk Region, which previously had been mostly populated by Ukrainians who accounted to 70% of population.
