Umm, have you ever lived in USSR? Being born in the 80's doesn't count either.

There absolutely were times when being a few minutes late to work (not during the war either) would get you a long prison sentence at the very least.

Also, it never were "a normal western-sh country". Russia hasn't been, and USSR in toto had no reasons to be either.

Works of marxist "economists" shouldn't even be dignified with a discussion, but is is greatly concerning that there is such a thing as whitewashing of the soviet regime, and that it is considered to be far more acceptable that whitewashing nazis.
