Solzhenitsyn

You haven't had to do much lying, do you understand? ... You people were arrested, but we were herded into meetings to 'expose' you. They executed people like you, but they made us stand up and applaud the verdicts ... And not just applaud, they made us demand the firing squad, demand it!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Cancer Ward, pp. 436–437.
