I have and still am unfortunately living in a post-communist country. I think I pretty well understand how it starts and what it causes and I have the full right to use the term.
A "disease" especially of the kind sooo poplar at this point of time in no way can justify the inhumane "measures" taken across the world.
Let's not get side tracked. This is a racing forum and I just expressed my opinion on the matter.

When I was in Ypres several times the no-go zones were forced by police helicopter hoowering over the fans hiding in the fields (me included once). I fail to see how is that any different? Simply if there is a requirement to run the rally with no spectators (from the state officials for example) it has to be somehow forced into effect, otherwise the organizer may have serious troubles.

It's also the state officials that do the control, not rally organization - in co-operation, but in the end it's the officials.
I agree with Antti that this is to give a message to people who are planning to go even if it's a no public event, and rightly so. All of the winter season rallies in Finland have been no spectators events, some with heavier measures, some less. No stages have been cancelled even if there has been spectators, but it for sure kills the pleasure to be hiding out and knowing you are doing something you're now allowed to. Problem is the feeling of injustice. Rallies, in the forests, easy to social distance, but other outdoors sports can continue because they are no pre-arranged public affairs. We see pictures of 50 people, 100 people queing for ski lift or on a ice skating rink - that's OK, but groups 1-5 rally spectators here and there scattered across kilometres long stages is not ok. That's the feeling of injustice we get.Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC
