How sad.
Yes.
It was interesting, and during the purges and years leading up to WWII, it became grindingly depressing...though still interesting.
Besides the promiscuity and freedom to divorce, the saddest thing was they way they turned every single citizen against each other, where even conversation had to be scrupulously guarded even during a family dinner.
The damned communists knew what they were doing there. It became an art form in East Germany, and is frightening today in Communist China, which is so far advanced beyond that.
