One good thing about the USSR was the way it dealt with spousal abuse: The woman in question could report the event to the CPSU or labor union apparatus at her husband's place of work, who would make his life a living hell. If he did it too much, they would destroy his career. If she really insisted on it, they would send him to a re-education camp.
