If you were a troublesome critic of the regime, you would not be put on trial. Your life would just be made difficult – your driving licence would mysteriously vanish in the post, your children would not get their place in university, you would be unable to find any but menial jobs.

Se eravate un fastidioso critico del regime, non venivate processati; vi avrebbero semplicemente reso la vita difficile: la vostra patente di guida sarebbe scomparsa misteriosamente nella posta, i vostri figli non avrebbero ottenuto un posto all ’ università, non avreste trovato che lavori umili.
Als je lastig was en kritiek had op het regime, werd je niet aangeklaagd, maar werd alleen het leven je zuur gemaakt – je rijbewijs verdween op mysterieuze wijze in de post, je kinderen werden niet tot de universiteit toegelaten, je kon alleen maar oninteressante baantjes krijgen.
