Russian term or phrase: о котором власти запретят говорить десятилетиями
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


Explanation:
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.

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