      If you lived in the USSR and are still alive, your experience is unimportant. As a foreigner, you were not privvy to the real layers of soviet life, and even then, you'd only seen the very late Sovok, not what this docu is about. Even soviet citizens of the later years had no clue about the earlier soviet eras and often couldn't understand their elders who were afraid of shadows.

      Ames is so horrible because he did it ONLY for the money so his wife could live above their means. I could maybe even respect Ames if he was a committed communist and was doing it for what he thought were patriotic reasons like the Soviet spies that gave the infor to the West. That he didn't even AGREE with the Soviet ideals made it somehow worse in my opinion. Robert Hansen and his son were the same way. Just money! I'm glad the 2 men are rotting in jail!

    My father-in-law was a Colonel in the Red Army and served in several places, including WWII. When his Tank Battalion was out on maneuvers, they were talking about things they ought not have been. Turns out, one of his junior officers was KGB. The officer, his wife, and two young daughters were snatched up the day after they got home. The next day, my father-in-law and a couple other officers showed up looking for them. Apartment unlocked, all their belongings remaining and the family was gone. Never to be seen or heard from again.
    Real life stories, up close & personal, puts a whole other perspective on what living then was all about.

      That's why its terror couldn't last.
      The Soviet Terror on the other hand served only one purpose:
      Crush anyone who might oppose or even question the Communist Party.
      Once you define "the enemy" like that, the force of the terror might
      get turned up or down, but it can't ever end ... Unless the system does.

  • @Garbeaux.

    While this was barely focused on, Lenin demanding the destruction and cultural heritage of churches and monasteries for millions of religious and highly superstitious peasants was easily one of their early wrong moves. One, human beings will always look to some kind of higher power even if they claim otherwise. That’s exactly why they expected people to join the ‘religion’ of Communism and the Might Lord Lenin/Stalin. They were at least somewhat smart enough to know they couldn’t just do away with religion without it being replaced. Only thing is you can’t truly enforce a law like that. People will always find a way. It’s ironic though in their hour of need during WWII all the Orthodox churches opened back up. Lol. Yet people today still believe in Communism of some form. It’s baffling. I guess when you teach nothing but race, sexuality, and gender ideology people don’t learn about the old ideologies that don’t work. It’s never failed to amuse me xenophobic nations like China and NK *still* practice a form of Marxism. Shoot, NK is literally a Stalinist state. They’re xenophobic nations with governments based on European theories and ideologies.
