To add to the metaphor - for many behind the curtain - the soviet aparatchiks came imposed from a foreign country - Russia.

The only difference is that you're less likely to be sent to Gulag, or worse.

US apparatchiks come from a foreign country of sorts too: coastal elite cities and coastal top-ten universities. That world is as far from most of America as Moscow was from Ukraine.
