Never was there so can't say...but if I want to go fishing here in the United States and the lake is on privately-owned land, can I exercise my free will?
No matter which country a person is in, the amount and types of free will (s)he is allowed to exercise without punishment are relative (as are those). But wherever that is, you'll be told it is better than anywhere else and be criticized if you disagree.

Freedom and free will are two different things. One can have free will and not freedom. To accept Christ does not involve freedom. Many people in prision accept Christ without being free.

haha, you funny. They had the free will to obey or be punished. Of course they did have the free will to work hard or not. Pay was the same either way :-)

No.
Any exercise of free will tended to get them thrown in the Gulag or sent to Siberia.

Yeah they had free will, they could do whatever they pleased, however, they would be punished for using it.
