Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1917, but this autonomy was short lived, as Ukrainians then clashed with Lenin's Red Army. After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin came to power, and in 1929 he ordered the arrest of 5,000 Ukrainian scholars, scientists, and cultural and religious leaders, who were falsely accused of plotting an armed revolt. These people were then imprisoned or executed. | Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1917, but this autonomy was short lived, as Ukrainians then clashed with Lenin's Red Army.
