That is part of it, but there was a large existing Russian presence in Ukraine long before the 1930s. They tended to populate the urban areas, the rural areas were largely Ukrainian. The population shifts and losses in the rural Ukraine from the Holodomor in part did result in some more Russian speaking people ending up there.
