The Thought Police in this movie was based on the Soviet N.K.V.D. (Narodnyi Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del; translation: People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs), a Soviet Secret Police force which operated from 1934 to 1946 and arrested people for random "anti-Soviet" remarks. The Thought Crime motif is drawn from Kempeitai, the Japanese wartime Secret Police, who arrested people for "unpatriotic" thoughts.
