I realize that, but it goes along with me stating that  was  possibly rhetoric if they saw grassroots movements as a threat.

Probably not because the Soviets brought stability and security to the region after the war and any indivdiuals that were perceived as a threat could be liquidated.

Yeah, but once stability and security were met, the post-war economy of the Soviet Union stagnated, with no major advances made towards realizing the goal of communism (despite Khrushchev's "communism in 20 years" statement). Actually, now I am curious, do you believe that they truly saw 20 years as a realistic goal, or do you believe that was rhetoric/purposefully exaggerated?
