By the end of May, guards had arrested 50 gang members for cannibalism. And the episode finally came to an end in July of that summer, mainly due to a local communist propaganda reporter who personally sent a message to Stalin informing him of the atrocities that were going on at Nazino. Now while there were guards that were arrested, and Stalin took immediate steps to end the situation, it was also immediately covered up. And it wasn't really until the fall of the Soviet Union where information became available about the Nazino tragedy and we kind of found out what happened. Nazino Island led the Soviet leadership to begin to doubt the quality and the efficiency of large scale resettlement projects. In 1933 alone, there were over 350,000 known untraceable resettlers. And the atrocities that occurred at Nazino directly led to the end of large scale settlement plans in the Soviet Union and to the end of using urbanites and criminals for future settlement plans.
