agree  Viktoria Volkova

  -> Большое спасибо!
agree  ArnieT: Although there are only four Google hits, three of which are Russian, and the fourth one appears to be too, this seems to be the best wording out of all suggested. An option would be "declared itself loud and clear" for which there is 1 GH, but English.

It's not slang — it's just an idiom — http://www.goenglish.com/Idioms/Get Into Full Swing.asp

See also "into full swing" in Google Scholar — http://goo.gl/RBMEW — and

Well, you can render "на всю силу" as "at full force" — http://goo.gl/Rq6LN — then.

reaching the crux


Explanation:
Іншими словами, "досягши найвищої точки".

Процес національно-державного самовизначення отримав найсильніше вираження або досягнув свого апогею під час багатотисячного Буковинського віче.

Запропоновані колегами варіанти трохи "грішать" дослівним перекладом. Без образ, будь ласка, нічого персонального!

disagree  ArnieT: Це б означало, по потім рух пішов на спад, що невідомо. +++ Що власне "це" також невідомо з контексту?

  -> з контексту також це не відомо. може й так, а може і не так. взагалі, мало контексту.

agree  Angela Greenfield: "declared itself loud and clear" or "manifested itself lound and clear", like you suggested in your comments above would be a better choice IMHO
