While the word "stanitsa" survives in modern usage, the stanitsa as a social system in its historic context was effectively destroyed in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian revolution, when the Russian Civil War (1917-1922) and subsequent collectivisation (1928-1940) of the land by the state in the Stalinist period and the Holodomor (1932-1933) destroyed the culture and the economic foundations of stanitsas.
