In tonight's episode a man was randomly attacking women, one of nuns gave a description and the police officer said the man was a Soviet.
Was this a Communist from the Soviet Union or a Communist Englishman?
Mrs Voorhees is watching you!
He appeared to be a Soviet merchant seaman.
The helper that Sergeant Noakes used to ID the tattoos told him he only saw those on Soviet men.
Also, he suggested to Noakes that he check to see which Soviet ships had put into port recently, in order to find the man.
Then, the seaman was being taken off a Soviet ship at the dock by Noakes and another police officer.
The close up of the Soviet ship was shown--with the name of the ship on the prow with Russian Cyrillic letters.
Not every person who lived in Soviet Union wasn't a communist.

😀 Well, I lived in SU, because my country was occupied, so it's a sensitive topic for me. We were mostly anti-communists here.

True. I spent some time in the USSR back in the '70s and the Communist Party members were a kind of an elite group. Some higher members with many privileges.
I was taking a course at a university and every young person there had parents who were party members. They could not and would not have said that was a prerequisite for getting a place at university, but it did seem so. I never asked sensitive questions like that. Obviously.
Then there were the rest of the folks who were "joiners." etc.
Communism was just a red herring.
I don't think the word Communism was used at all in the episode. The tattoo expert said it was the types of tattoos you get in prison because they showed he'd been convicted of a crime. Noakes said he'd never seen that design before. And the tattoo man replied he'd seen them on Soviets, check the merchant marines that fly under their flag.
