vision." Prisoners who have served out their time are said to have

was described in George Orwell's 1984, and recalls the Ministry of

Not both! The terminology has changed, but its purpose remains the
same. The terrible famine of early '60s that claimed 20 million lives
was for a long time officially known as the "three years of temporary
economic difficulties (or hardship)." Not a single word about the vic-
tims of the consequences of the Great Leap Forward which continued
to be extolled during the catastrophic period. On the contrary, the sit-

been executed, the state makes an average 10-15,000 dollars profit out of
each usable organ. Under the law "On the Use of Executed Prisoners'
