He'd stick to the tried-and-true playbook if he could...

Send thugs to bang on his door at 3AM. Frog walk him into the back of a Black Maria with a sack over his head, and take him on a joy ride ending on the wrong side of the gates to the Lubyanka. Keep him awake for a couple of weeks straight while subjecting him to constant interrogation, until he signs a confession to trumped-up charges (bonus points if he can be forced to implicate some acquaintance-subversives.) Then it's off to the frozen gulag for a double-nickel of starvation and hard labor.

Ah, The Good Old Days
