Soviet poster : who does not work shall not eat.

Soviet leaders began to criticize able-bodied citizens who did not want to "work honestly", "evade socially useful work" and received unearned income from movable and immovable property (exploitation of living space, cars, land). If a person did not work for the construction of communism for four months in a row (with the exception of women raising young children) and his guilt was proved by the court, the "criminal" was sent to special places for a period of two to five years, and full confiscation of the property of the "parasite" acquired by dishonest means.
