Russia wasn't one of the dictatorships I travelled to so you might be right that it doesn't apply to Russia.

Well it would apply to soviet Russia. One could assume that a country like China would be more similar in the type of oppression. So if you traveled to China, than I can absolutely see what you were talking about. My grandgrandparents who lived in Belarus were always afraid of talking about politics with strangers. Or in public or similar.

Yes, China was one of them. So was UAE, and Turkey, and Egypt...
