When did stalin's genocide start?

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.
