It’s ironic. Only in a dictatorship do you have a culture where everyone covers up their mistakes, out of fear of being killed for being “disloyal” by being honest. At the same time only a dictatorship can force people to fix these mistakes by making them work in conditions that result in certain death, whether death comes next week or in a few years. I saw this show when it came out but on rewatch I realize I never truly appreciated it the first time. R.I.P. to all who died and gave their own lives to prevent others from dying. And a big F you to Communist dictatorships.

There was no internet, so we got our news by watching the evening news on one of the 3 main networks, and reading newspapers. Soviet Union was a secretive society (much like North Korea today) and they had HUGE influence over many other communist countries next to them (Such as Poland, East Germany, etc) so those people and governments kept quiet. Other countries, like Norway and so on most likely lodged some sort of formal complaint with the United Nations or something, demanding better information from the Soviets. Things were tense to be sure, but no one wanted to escalate something like that for fear of starting an actual war (Just like today with Putin and Ukraine and Trump, etc).
