You might like to know that you and I were born in the same country. Provided that you were born before 1993, but based on your comment I assume you were. And yes, I have a very good recollection of the life under the Soviet rule.

I still maintain that being spied on by the government that has no control over me is a lesser evil than being spied on by the government that controls every aspect of my life.
