A small correction to overall very good article: the origins of the Russian phrase are not "obscure", as the Wikipedia article explains. It originated from Lenin - the earliest form was "control and accountability are the base of trust" in one of his articles. If anything, it expressed levels of paranoia and lack of trust unimaginable in any Western society, which plague all Eastern Europe till today.
