My close friend from childhood - Gela, was a poet. He was an excellent person never had any aggressive ideas to any person, he was in love when became teenager and famous in our school with his soft character.
Gela never supported communist ideas, moreover, hated them.
In 1980, two years after we finished the high school, he was conscripted by soviet army. That period the Evil Empire was fighting in Afghanistan and propaganda was very strong of course, You can imagine what was happening in the army.
Gela came back after two years and we hardly recognized him. Yes, he changed little physically but mostly mentally – was like a mad robot. He was proving to everybody the war was important and necessary, that soviet union was a great country and the world capitalism will be defeated soon, etc.
This is how soviet/Russian propaganda works.
This was one of the first strikes in my life.

This is a damning indictment of Soviet Communism.
