Salvatio71 karma

Hello! Thank you for doing the AMA :)

After reading the Gulag Archipelago by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, I was baffled by just how easily people could be arrested and sent to the Gulags--often without reason, and with no resistance whatsoever. It is said that people would lie about others they were jealous of, so that you could have what they had. (boyfriend of a girl you like, for example)

Did this happen often? What was the degree of trust people had towards one another in the Soviet Union?

What are your thoughts on the rise of populist leaders that seem to be happening globally? Do you think the fears people have regarding the authoritarian traits of some current leaders across the globe are well-founded or overexaggerated?
