The state under their rule required the destruction of cities and the foreign-educated elite in order to rustify, or to make the country more rural. The goal was a centralized communal organization of atheistic factory workers and peasant farmers free of external support. Cities were raided and people relocated to communal farms.

They all were virtually, if not entirely, eliminated from the population by expulsion, execution, or starvation.
