30 years ago
we didn't had the right to vote because only one party existed, anyone who wanted something different got convicted on the basis of false accusations.
we didn't had the right to be on the street when there are more than 3 people present at the same place, otherwise you got jail time for 3+ days.
we didn't had the right to listen to any kind of music or speech, and the penalty for listening to Western media could lead to confiscation of property and jail and/or labor camp.
we didn't had the right to get any job we wanted or build our own company because our jobs where preassigned and every invention became the property of the state
we didn't had the right to criticize our leaders, and sometimes our neighbor was the one who betrayed us because we said something about the authority
what we had is the total control of the local media, military and economics by a foreign country, and moving forward as an individual was only possible trough along political interests. people we know disappeared one day to the next, and most of the times we just got some lies about how they defected the Soviet Union.
But according to news of the state TV and Radio everything was fine and we where living in an amazing country and all of us played an important part of the worlds greatest power.
After three decades of this shit, 30 years ago in this day a handful of people including my grandfather started a secret movement because of a rumor from moscow what lead to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
