1) wrong,

2) explain
3) once again, these myths about Siberia are killing me, if you will dig deeply then you well see how many of prisoners were real dissidents, but like i said before it was forbidden to say shit about commies, freedom of speech were poor, no doubt, and it's bad, no one can take you freedom of movement/speech from you, but siberia? seriously? give me some names i'll try to find more information about them in runet archives
4) not from Ural, many people were moved to Latvia from destroyed cities because of WWII and they've started to work in the new factories, kolkhozs but why you want them to move back? they are not assimilated yet? lol
5) yes, censorship had a place, some authors were forced to leave country and it's bad, even now in Russia they try to censor many things, yesterday they did this

but look at the number of famous novels from ussr period - doctor zhivago, master and margarita, heart of dog, life and fate etc., so you was able to write about anything except about some forbidden themes
6) yep, but what's changed now? your status in the government, senate or in chamber of Ministers is giving you huge opportunities in life
c) yes, but who told you that the Soviet food was bad?!as for clothes - the black marketeers had a great business with selling western stuff in USSR including jeans, food, coats etc.
