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.

-Hi, Chris, what did happen with the Gulag after 1953? Was it dismantled -and replaced by a "conventional" prisional system? Was the term -Gulag kept? I?ve read Nicholas Werth?s, who seems to be one of -specialists in forced labour in USSR. He suggests that there was -extensive improvements in the system by 1956, but forced labour -remained. He also estimates a decreasing of 60% in incarceration -rates after 1956. How this system worked thereafter (Mr. Werth argues -that administrative chaos and low productivity were the causes of -the Gulag crisis in the end of Stalin years)
