What is illegal here — and getting people sent to prison — and not illegal in Stalinist Russia?

Never mind the fact that what you say about Stalin isn’t true. You could actually be sent to prison (One of the Gulag camps, little better than a concentration camp) for being late to work! For real.  Not showing up for work or coming in late was punishable under Stalin’s criminal code.

Stalin is estimated to have slaughtered some 20 million of his own people — more than even Hitler is credited with off the battlefield.  And this is a CONSERVATIVE estimate!  One author (with more specific numbers) places the figure at more than twice that, and places the odds of anyone under Soviet rule during Stalin’s time of being executed at (now get this) 1 in 222!

You can read about his estimates here.
