I went on a google search to figure out what you could have meant. There are many things I do not know, and a single word without context is seldomly enough to assume. (Starzi appears to be a last name and not much more.)
Also, if I'm googling it, most of the time there are others wondering.
Fair enough :-). I just assumed everyone knew who the Stasi were! I can't recommend the film The Lives of Others enough. Really is a scary insight into the end game of a surveillance state...
