The story of a whole generation that became Huffadh despite the Qur'an being banned in society...
An Indian man went to Russia for training in 1973
(when communism was at its peak)
He told his friends to get ready for Jumu'ah. They told him only one or two Masajid remaining

The Masajid had been converted into storage departments for the country or motels for tourists.
The Masjid was closed - a person from the neighbourhood opened it.
Seeing the Masjid in a bad state, he cleaned up and said the Adhan. Old people, women and children gathered

Nobody came inside.
A child invited him home for tea, he accepted. They cooked different dishes for him. He asked the child if he knew how to recite the Qur'an or not.
The child said:
"Yes sir! We all know how to recite the Qur'an"

The man opened his pocket Qur'an, placed his finger on a verse and asked him to recite it.
The child looked at the man, then looked at the Qur'an, and then at his parents.

He said:
He doesn't know how to read, so why did he say he can? I recited the verse...
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًۭا
Upon reciting the verse, the child began to recite ahead from memory.

The man was shocked, and he asked the parents:

They smiled and said:
"The Qur'an is banned here. If a person is caught having even a single verse of the Qur'an, his whole family is killed. This is why we cannot keep a copy of the Qur'an in our homes."
