- rasz 3y agoThats exactly how it worked. In fact there was always more than one pair of eyes on everyone, people were being coerced to snitch on each other. Im old enough to remember a nice man visiting my school asking us to listen carefully what parents talk about around the house and report to teachers any criticism of government or party. That was pre 1989 under Russian occupation of my country.
