I've just added, from personal experience:

A curious development of this policing measure has been in use in Belarus since perestroika. Participants of unsanctioned meetings and demonstrations used to be hurdled into busses, driven some 25 km off city limits and unloaded to walk home on feet or hitchhike.

Now I'm wondering whether this is a genuine Belarussian KGB invention. Mikkalai 20:30, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hurtled into buses? Doesn't it mean herded into buses? — SheeEttin {T/C} 22:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This practice was also used by StB in Czechoslovakia and probably in some other Soviet sattelites.

The United States Military has used this tactic against Iraqis who violate their curfew. --Ignignot 21:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a fairly common tactic throughout the world apparently. In Regina, Saskatchewan, there was a case a few years back which brought this to light - The police were picking up intoxicated native peoples and dropping them off on the outskirts of town where they were forced to walk home, often in freezing temperatures. One such person died of exposure, thus bringing this cruel tactic to light.

This tactic certainly is widely used. During the 1990s, protestors who entered the BAE Systems site at Warton, Fylde and were captured, were taken by BAe security into the surrounding countryside, no matter what time of the day or night, from where they were forced to find their way back to the village. The distance was nowhere near 25 km but the people dumped on a dark country lane might have thought it was. Many of the protestors were female and felt especially vulnerable, as a result of which the local newspaper the Lancashire Evening Post carried a report on the issue.

Brillian article

This article is fantastic. It's an amazing illustration of how foreigners understand absolutely nothing about USSR, Soviet life, Russia, Russians and everything related. Complete misunderstanding of the whole idea. No relation to reality whatsoever. Yet, properly sourced (Western sources of course, limited to the understanding of the authors) and thus absolutely impossible to correct, delete or rewrite.
