Russia became increasingly alarmed by these initiatives and eventually, in [[1929]], Prime Minister Kuular was arrested and later executed. In Russia meanwhile (in 1930) five members of the KUTV ([[Communist University of the Toilers of the East]]) the same group that executed Kuular, were appointed ''commissars extraordinary'' for Tuva. Staunchly loyal to [[Joseph Stalin]]'s government, they purged the Tuvan Communist Party of about a third of its members and pushed [[collectivisation]] in the traditionally nomadic country. The new government set about trying to destroy Buddhism and shamanism in Tuva, a policy encouraged by Stalin. Evidence of the success of these actions can be seen in the decline in the numbers of Lamas in the country: in 1929 there were 25&nbsp;Lamasaries and about 4,000&nbsp;Lamas and Shamans; in 1931 there was just one&nbsp;Lamasery, 15&nbsp;Lamas and approximately 725&nbsp;shamans. The attempts at eradicating nomadism were more difficult. A census in 1931 showed that 82.2&nbsp;% of Tuvans still engaged in nomadism. [[Solchak Toka]], one of the commissars extraordinary mentioned above, was made General Secretary of the Tuvan People’s Revolutionary Party in 1932. He would stay in power in Tuva until his death in 1973.-->
