Meanwhile as someone who actually used to live in a soviet block country, I can wholeheartedly call out your bullshit. What you call far left here has literally nothing to do with the reigning communist party in the(no longer existent and for quite some time, just so you know) soviet block. Also, prostitution being legal or not was a by country ordinance, there were no secret policies issued by Kreml on that ever. The real soviet block commies were far more preoccupied with defending themselves against your culture than the other way round.
My own grandfather used to be a high ranking party member in my former country, so dunno how many KGB defectors with fantastic stories you can produce, most likely quite a couple, after all making outlandish shit up about the former eastern block, was a surefire way to get the audience’s attention back in the days, I’m still sticking to his own words on it.
Final little point, actual soviets were generally brutal and hateful on LGBTs(not more than the Western countries of the time) but again, today’s “far-left” kids you call as such because you’re a demented, ignorant and limited imbecile, are nowhere near the actual bolsheviks on the political spectrum. These kiddos are much, much closer to Machno than to Lenin and you’re either willfully malicious or grossly deluded not to see that.
