Usage notes[edit]
Both of the events in the main clause and the subordinate clause, with the conjunction по мере того как, describe actions that happen simultaneously as well as showing a gradual progress. Since both verbs of the main clause and the subordinate clause indicate two sets of gradual action, they must be imperfective.
