Thomas Sgovio, an American who lived in the Soviet Union, wrote of Communist political emigres:
From the 1920s until the early 1930s, the Soviet Union warmly greeted those who defected from their bourgeois-occupied homelands and took refuge in the USSR -- making of them a class of privileged NEETs who attracted tons of attention from local foids! They were not only given NEETbuxx by the state, but social recognition and praise too (eliminating all the detriments there are to NEETdom)...
That is, until they began attracting Stalin's attention as possible spies and foreign agents! Thereafter they were killed in large numbers, proportional to the amounts that were concurrently being purged in the upper echelons of the Communist Party and the Red Army (and sometimes at even greater proportions, such as with Polish Communist expats who were almost entirely eliminated for fear of Poland's fascistic common interests with Japan and Germany).
Knowing that your ultimate fate would quite possibly have been death, would you have become a Bolshevik emigre in order to enjoy a time of high-status? An analogous situation today would be defecting to North Korea.
We lived in our own world, subjects of a state within a state. We received free hotel accommodations, generous monthly allowances, and free clothing. We spoke at meetings in factory clubs and schools, after which we were banqueted. There were free theater parties and amusements. Those polit-emigrants who were ill as a result of their sufferings in fascist and capitalist prisons were sent to exclusive hospitals and sanatoriums on the Black Sea. And here again, because of their special, privileged status, Russian girls flocked after the polit-emigrant for material considerations.
