2. Signs of what could happen are everywhere.

I'm watching, and enjoying, "A Gentleman in Moscow" streaming on Showtime. In the early days after the Russian Revolution, the Bolshevik tribunal determined where former members of the wealthy aristocracy would wind up. In time you see more and more politics and political shenanigans to gain favor with Stalin, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 75, after sending more than 20 million to their deaths.
