This is false, striking was illegal in the USSR. If you refused to do work you were an enemy of the state. If your town didn't meet the farming quota they would starve your entire town. If you went on strike you would get murdered and sometimes your family would get murdered. If you deserted from the army or retreated you would get shot by barrier troops. If you were injured or sick you would be disposed of or hidden on an island. If you were a female orphan under the age of 15 there was something like an 88% chance you'd be used as a prostitute. The USSR was terrible for workers. Some of this was hidden by lying about statistics, same as it is today with authoritarian countries.
