Russian term

Russian to English Other Government / Politics
Доброго времени суток.

Из материалов о голоде в Казахстане.

А после того как Голощекин будет снят с поста руководителя республики это признают и его подпевалы-подхалимы. Но все это произойдет после того, как сгинут миллионы жизней в результате разразившегося массового голода, который потряс страну. Голода, ранее неслыханного и невиданного. Голода, о котором власти запретят говорить десятилетиями.

Спасибо.

of which the authorities will prohibit any mention for decades

or, about which the authorities will prohibit any (all) discussion for decades

Both versions are a little awkward because of the trailing "for decades," but that may be better than trying to insert "for decades" mid sentence.

I think the firsr version is least awkward.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Oleg Lozinskiy : Do you think that there was a 'decree' issued by the relevant 'authorities''? And why 'will' rather than 'would'?

(Hunger) whose mention the government would prohibit for decades/would be prohibited for decades

Only the government can prohibit mentioning hunger, hence the second version.
