If the resistance to communism in Russia didn't have any way to communicate with each other or recruit additional members even more people would have died.
Spoiler alert: most of the time the resistance didn't look like your personal Rambo hollywood fantasy. And even when it did organized resistance movements depended heavily on Samiszdat, the transmission of banned information through paper copies, both for communication and general recruiting and psychological operations. Posters and flyers printed from computers are literally a modern form of Samiszdat. Communist governments took Samiszdat very seriously and punished it harshly.
Funny how communist governments were so afraid of this thing you consider useless and ineffective, isn't it?
And how many posters, do you think, before the commies give up and return power to the people?
I don't know, do you think the communist regime wants information that is critical of them to be put on walls and public areas?
Have you heard of something called Samizdat before?
Man, it's a good thing those Russians were able to use their documents to prevent the deaths of tens of millions of people. Oh, wait . . .
Before embarrassing yourself anymore you should learn a bit about opposition to communism, especially in Poland through the peaceful efforts of Lech Wałęsa.
