The soviet republic, as shitty as it ultimately was, certainly wouldn't have come about through "the will of the people." Change is usually for the worse, but if you want it bad enough, gotta break a leg somewhere.

Here is a little chunk of the very small portion I transcribed to my computer long, long ago:

> I calculated that there had to be at least a hundred of them arranged in tight, tidy rows of five at their consoles, clacking away noisily. Wires snaked down from their temples and they kept their elbows cramped to their chests to avoid invading their neighbors space. Stalin grinned proudly at me from beneath his bushy mustache.

> "This is but one of our many glorious propaganda chambers- the writers are picked from the most intelligent Gulag prisoner stock and re-purposed here. We also have a separate chamber of readers, who act as quality control for the worker-empowering literature generated here. If they detect the literature to be below the standards of the Supreme Soviet or repetitious, they give them some constructive criticism in return..."
>As I watched, one of the writers jerked backward spasmodically from her hunched bird-like pose and began to flail her limbs, apparently in response to an electric current being forcibly pulsed through her skull.
> "We like to call them bloggers," laughed the Man of Steel, before moving along with me to the next exhibit of Soviet supremacy.

I was unaware of these, good anon. I suppose I can no longer claim the concept as original, but perhaps I shall finish the transcription of my bizarre alternate history/cyberpunk/satire/(mild) gay romance and post it on /lit/ as a sort of penance.
