StB

In former Czechoslovakia, State Security (Czech: Státní bezpečnost, Slovak: Štátna bezpečnosť) or StB / ŠtB, was a plainclothes secret (political) police force from 1945 to its dissolution in 1990. Serving as an intelligence and counter-intelligence agency, it dealt with any activity that could possibly be considered anti-communist.

History

From its establishment on June 30, 1945, onward, the StB was bound to and controlled by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The communists used the StB as an instrument of power and repression: the StB spied on and intimidated political opponents of the Party and forged false criminal evidence against them, facilitating the Communists rise to power in 1948. Even then, before Czechoslovakia became a communist state, the StB forced confessions by means of torture, including the use of drugs, blackmail and kidnapping. After the coup d'état of 1948, these practices developed under the tutelage of Soviet advisors. Other common practices included telephone tapping, permanent watching of apartments, reading mail, house searches, surveillance, arrests and indictment for so-called "subversion of the republic".

    I've Been Spun

    by: City Boy

    Broughton
    Ronnie's arrived with his Radio
    He carries it everywhere he goes,
    And talk about knowing your airwaves
    ...Ronnie'll name a few
    Nicholas came with his cockatoo... too,
    Which is really a pigeon but his heart would stop tickin'
    if he ever knew.
    'Cos everybody needs somebody (sometime)
    I'm still needing you
    CHORUS
    I've been spun and spin-dried
    but still the tears fall from my eyes.
    I've been spun but I'm cry-dyed
    do me a favour and wring me.
    I've been spun and spin-dried
    but still the tears fall from my eyes.
    I've been spun but I'm cry-dyed
    do me a favour and wring me... sometime
    Little Linda's got a way with men
    And so far she's got away with about nine or ten
    'Cos everybody needs somebody (sometime)
    I'm still needing you
    CHORUS
    I've been spun and spin-dried
    but still the tears fall from my eyes.
    I've been spun but I'm cry-dyed
    do me a favour and wring me.
    I've been spun and spin-dried
    but still the tears fall from my eyes.
    I've been spun but I'm cry-dyed
