Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.

Stalin’s regime was really reactionary

Even this is a charitable description. The best term for Stalin's regime is "despotism".

    That and also anti-intellectualism with ability to physically destroy intellectuals. People like Lysenko and Lepeschinskaya and so on being able to do that to their opponents are, IMHO, the main difference between 20s USSR which was pretty believably in avantgarde and 60s USSR which in all parts of its society just wanted some silent life and no more greatness.

    Even when that anti-scientific crap and repressions stopped, Soviet science fiction and Soviet state ideology and Soviet system couldn't be believed any more. They've lost basis in reality.

    20s' USSR had just restored its economy to 1914 levels and above in a few years after WWI, the revolution and the civil war, made a new republic, and seemed a successful resolution of Russia's early XX century dead end.

    60s' USSR failed agriculture, controlling some of the most agriculturally productive areas on the planet.
