Since "crime doesn't officially exist" in the egalitarian Soviet state , pointing out societal imperfections like murder is itself a crime. LEO investigating a murder have to be very careful they don't get sent to the Gulag themselves for embarassing the State.
My $.02, those 99%ers would be well served to occupy a few hours with this book
