Early Stalinist Russia?

TBH I see more similarities to early Stalinist Russia...At the beginning it wasn't bad..started getting bad little by little..a few more liberties being taken away here and there..anyone who disagreed was painted as unpatriotic..no such thing as dissident, just as traitors...then they started taking people in for *questioning* if they didn't toe the *official* line...and they were sent to special places (aka siberia/QB)...then the USSR started invading surrounding countries to force them into the proper form of government (the one that they should all want anyway, cause it was the best form of govt...)...and somehow the *people* didn't view the leader of the country as being behind the things being done (torture, etc)..he was held blameless as a *good* man...and if they could just let him know what was being done, then of course he would put a stop to it...

Sound familiar to anyone else?
