you really think the Soviet Union made a literal wall out of iron all along its border to keep people inside? you think they built a really big metal wall all along their ~60,000km land borders? 3 times as long as the Great Wall of China?

are you perhaps confusing this with the berlin wall? or do you think the phrase “the Iron Curtain” was meant very very literally?

The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping

holy fuck lmao
