There are also good grounds for assuming that the decision was not motivated by concern for the suffering of the Jewish population. Rather the decision appears to have been primarily influenced by consideration for the hostility of the local population toward the Jews and the general tendency to Ukrainize areas that had been annexed to the Soviet Union."

Although often impoverished and having been deprived of many of their belongings during the first Sovietization of 1940-1941, the Romanian occupation, and the second Sovietization of 1944-1945, many Jews who survived the Holocaust in the city still occupied prestigious apartments - a commodity that was becoming more and more precious with the continuous arrival of Soviet in-migrants."
