Never a truer word .Agree there Pete the system was/is strange...
Probably scared whit less of the prospect of a few years in Siberia made the them tow the line. I f by the odd chance you holiday in the former USSR be sure to book a visit to Dzerzhinsky Square. the Lubyanka Prison, an interesting experience.Having said all that they were always respectful and polite and never caused us any problems
Not sure how true it is but I remember the older dockers telling us that back in the 60/70’s the Russian ships actually had armed kgb agents aboard to keep em in line...Probably scared whit less of the prospect of a few years in Siberia made the them tow the line.

Don't doubt it one little bit.Not sure how true it is but I remember the older dockers telling us that back in the 60/70’s the Russian ships actually had armed kgb agents aboard to keep em in line...
The English where never really told about the Russian concentration camps during WWII where a million Polaks where sent to labour camps, my Mothers side of the family and my Mother ended up in Kresy a lot of the family died including my Mothers family, they had to bury him in a shallow grave in a forest they sent the workers out in winter barefoot to chop wood.Why is that SW? Genuine question. I found most of the Local Guys I worked with were OK just from a different culture, just wanted the same things we wanted, It's the system they lived under that is at fault, I respected their views and they reciprocated, I think. Before you ask "No I aint a Commie either"
The Way Back.@SWD, read a really good book of escape by a polish fella from the gulags, not the long walk another one fantastic read!
