Russia in The Sound and the Fury (Location)

Jason complains to the sheriff who will not help him pursue Miss Quentin and the money she took that Yoknapatawpha "is not Russia, where just because he wears a little metal badge, a man is immune to law" (304). Presumably Jason is referring to the Soviet Union, where a totalitarian government had been in power since the Russian Revolution of 1917 - but it's also clear that Jason's reference, like all his generalizations, combines bigotry with ignorance.
