It's much worse than you can imagine. Even police station is more frightening than American jail). Also people started to rat on their neighbors co-workers and family members to the information police. I was in panic, I was afraid that police will get me, they will torture me and throw me to jail for 15 years. Once when we were speaking on the phone with mom I stopped to pretend I'm OK, I told her everything. And then she said a thing that made me believe that she really loves me. She said: "Don't worry. We have a good attorney. You didn't do anything bad". In Russia this actually won't make your chances to avoid jail or tortures but still...
