A fact from Nazino tragedy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 October 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that more than 4,000 people died in 1933 on Nazino Island in the Soviet Union, many of whom were deported there only because they did not have an internal passport? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/October.

The section Nazino affair#Aftermath states that "Nazino Island directly led to the end of large scale settlement plans"; however, Michael Ellman has argued that the change in plans was due primarily to the economics of resettlement and the large number of deaths of peasants from the ongoing famine making such massive resettlement unnecessary, and leading Stalin to reduce (but not at all eliminate) the deportation targets for 1933. At the least, a citation is needed for the article's claim, although I'm too lazy tonite to add the tag. Eaglizard (talk) 07:47, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
