As to the assertions that the Soviet Union does not rule by force,
and that Soviet citizens are free and don't have to worry about
suddenly dissappearing, one should keep in mind that this is only
true with respect to people who abide by the SU Governments Laws (read
GOVERNMENT POLICY) !
This is particularly true with respect to one's religious beliefs!
And it is documented, if you want sources, I can obtain them in
about 2 weeks upon request.
Soviet Citizens who are viewed as some kind of threat are typically
incarcerated in so-called "hospitals" ( which are really mental
hospitals ) or put into labor camps.  I AM NOT JOKING!

Please don't tell me about freedoms in the Soviet Union.
