Unimaginable

I have read that the collapse of the soviet union may have been possible because it was unimaginable. Had it been seriously possible six months earlier, repression could have been stepped up, and the iron curtain maintained.

I know (and like) someone in whom the desire to demand more from people by pushing them is less restrained than it should be. I think it's because, as a small merry woman, she can't imagine pressure from her becoming overwhelming for anyone. Because she can't imagine it, she pushes as hard as she likes, and I've seen it be too much.
