no, nothing happened to them. the communist state doesn't care if you have a small backyard vegetable garden, plus they lived in a rural area where there wasn't super-heavy ussr influence.
that's the difference between a negligent dictatorship and a genocidal dictatorship. one simply doesn't care, and the other "cares" far too much.
keep in mind this was not deep central USSR, this was communist poland as occupied by the USSR. it did suck bad but they did not round up people for something as insignificant as having a backyard garden.

The point I'm trying to make is that you're full of stuff, and lo and behold I was right.

cappy's comments and grasp on oppressive dicatorships/Flash Mob are just as ridiculous as his comments on net neutrality. i kind of wonder if he just takes the wrong side just for the thrill of the challenge of supporting such a dumb position.

you're right, they were too busy starving the Ukranians to go looking for gardens.
