And Quiet Flows the Don
The Cossacks who remained in Russia endured more than a decade of continual repression, "e.g.," the portioning of the lands of the Terek, Ural and Semirechye hosts, forced cultural assimilation and repression of the Russian Orthodox Church, deportation and, ultimately, the Soviet famine of 1932–33. The repressions ceased and some privileges were restored after publication of "And Quiet Flows the Don" (1934) by Mikhail Sholokhov.
