False statement. Students could come from anywhere. Upon enlisting they received temporary propiska for the term of the study. Mikkalai 06:20, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Correct, Mikkalai. Humus sapiensTalk 08:20, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Constitutional?

Was propiska constitutional? Humus sapiens←ну? 02:46, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

In all of the former Soviet Constitutions the right for freedom of movement was not proclaimed. Now it is. 81.211.9.186 09:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality and sources

I just added the NPOV and "unsourced statements" things to the article. The unsourcedness of the article should be fairly obvious. The NPOV is perhaps not as obvious, but I feel that the whole article gives the impression that it was written to underline how "awfully bad" the USSR was, instead of giving a fair view of the subject matter. I encourage anyone who has the knowledge to improve the article so as to better reflect actual facts instead of subjective values. 85.224.198.207 (talk) 00:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The POV claim is mildly ridiculous. Propiska was not exactly fun, and the article describes this "fun", rather tersely. If you have to say something positive about the benefits of "propiska", you are very welcome. The unsourcedness is a yes. The reason is not because it is an esoteric or outlandish topic, but simply because no one really seem to care. `'Míkka>t 02:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
