"Verbal abuse" isn't a concept that existed in the Soviet Union. Giving or receiving instructions with as many "suka blyat" inserted between each word as possible wasn't abnormal.

>, there are several high profile examples of American leaders/directors/business men acting in openly abusive ways.

What an out of touch statement.

Have you ever worked in a restaurant or on a construction site?

Nothing the ruling class or their useful idiot cronies does publicly even approaches what's not considered abuse in those contexts.
