For reference, probably the biggest corruption scandal in the USSR. Cotton production was over-reported, and bureaucrats lived luxurious lives while embezzling Soviet state resources. It did not go unpunished, with thousands of arrests in the post-Brezhnev era but those people were freed with the collapse of the USSR.
