I agree

 

[Baruch Menachem]

I read several of these books.

My favorite was "To Build a Castle" by Vladimir Bukovsky. It is a prison memoir mostly.

there is also "Fear No Evil" by Nathan Scharansky.

And "Growing Up In Moscow" by Cathy Young.

So after reading those books would it make a sane person want to live in that type of system?
