Like many dictatorships, crime in the Soviet Union was usually perpetrated by the State For the purposes of posting on this particular SI board, I am primarily interested crimes committed by the State rather than crimes committed by unorganized individuals. I have come to expect dictatorships to work hand in hand with wealthy fascists, and to ignore any moral compunctions against intimidation and murder. This trend was well established in the Soviet era, and becomes increasingly apparent in Putin's dictatorship. IMO, the two biggest examples of these trends are Russia and China, both with a long and sorry history of rabid ideology that led to the deaths of millions of their own people through inept and arrogant State policies. In both cases, I blame the political leadership and not the ethnicity of those countries.
