How the Deep State arrests its enemies

There may not have been anyone in the 20th Century who knew more about nighttime arrests of enemies of the state than the late Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, author of many books including the three-volume series entitled "The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956".

In a night arrest the State Security men have a superiority in numbers; there are many of them, armed, against one person who hasn't even finished buttoning his trousers.

There's an advantage to night arrests in that neither the people in neighboring apartments nor those on the city streets can see how many have been taken away.

Arrests which frighten the closest neighbors are no event at all to those farther away.

Those who take, whose work consists solely of arrests, for whom the horror is boringly repetitive, have a much broader understanding of how arrests operate.

Arrests are classified according to various criteria: nighttime and daytime; at home, at work, during a journey; first-time arrests and repeats; individual and group arrests.

Arrests are distinguished by the degree of surprise, the amount of resistance expected.
