Freedom of Speech (USSR/USA)

During the soviet era many Westerners doubted the freedom of expression given to citizens of Soviet Union, so a journalist set out to interview people from the USA and USSR to see how things compared.

One American said "I am completely free to say whatever I think. For example I can walk into any public space and criticize the president."

To this the Soviet responded "We too have freedom of speech - we can go to any public square at any time and criticize the president of America."
