HSRP-564
The studies of expulsions and book bans measure removals by category and books banned wholesale, not punishment for saying what was true, and the costs are shortfalls against comparable places, not halts.

3. What it rests on
-
The studies of expulsions and book bans measure removals by category, by descent, religion or class (under the Khmer Rouge, 25.5% of men from educated families died, against 14.7% of other men [SRC-1045] [SRC-1046]), and books banned wholesale, not punishment for saying what was true. The costs are shortfalls against comparable places, not halts: the Soviet Union, which drove out genetics from 1948 to the mid-1960s, launched the first satellite in 1957 [SRC-1039]. They span church censors and tribunals and regimes of right and left HSRP-330.
