In the years of the cold war the Transcaucasia region was forced to follow the ideology of communism. During Soviet Premier, Josef Stalin's reign in the USSR, his collective tax for the Armenian farmers began to grow. The burst of the September Revolution in Armenia began in 1934. Sahak Borzak, an Armenian militia fighter organized a group of partisans in Northern Armenia. Josef Stalin's reaction was rash, he posted N.K.V.D units in Ukraine and began to cut off all food supply in Armenia, leading to mass die offs and famine. In the winter of 1935-1936 5 million Armenian innocents had starved to death, executed, or died of lack of malnutrition. This grew the resistance movement and ethnic Armenians joined together in a Nationalist movement that would shake the Transcaucasia region. During the second World War Stalin's troops we're occupied in the fight against Nazi Germany on the eastern front, the Armenian Nationalist Movement had achieved their independence from the oppression, after fully capturing their capital of Goris.
