  1. Here’s an interesting Soviet tidbit: One of the creative methods of torture used by Soviet interrogators is actually feeding their defendants with tons of food! This was their way of swaying accusations of human rights violation, as they can have plausible confirmation that they are feeding their prisoners well The only catch is that all the food is very salty and there were no drinks to wash it down (except for the extremely salty soup known as balanda); the interrogators will offer the overstuffed defendant water IF they sign a confession letter, which most of them probably do after feeling too groggy from all the salty meat and bread

  2.  @ilyasharin1976  Actually, this one is from Danzig Baldaev, a former prison guard who documented prisoners’ life in the gulag through a series of secret drawings; he was once caught and interrogated for drawing tattoos of prisoners, but the Soviets decided to keep him, so they can easily identify Russian criminal gangs

  4. There was one account of a Soviet soldier who suffered a brain injury during the Soviet-Afghan War and ended up with amnesia When he recovered, he asked his comrades what they are fighting in Afghanistan for; none of them can explain why they are here nor figure out how it all started

  7.  @volition2015  I read this from the book called “Soviets” by Danzig Baldaev and Sergei Vasiliev; the reference is from “The Hidden War” by Artyom Borovik EDIT: I rechecked the book and the details say that the Soviet soldier suffered an abysmal manic depression and suicidal tendencies due to trauma from the Afghanistan War and had to be sent to the mental ward. He was only “saved” when he suffered a concussion and developed amnesia. He asked his comrades about why they were in Afghanistan and no one can give him a definitive answer

  8.  @Escritorez  At least you’re allowed to wash it down with Coke, Pepsi or Sprite

  9. You forgot to mention that four of those Blackwater PMC contractors who were convicted and sentenced to 12-15 years back in 2014 were then later pardoned by President Trump in 2020, causing even more controversy and outrage both in the US and Iraq
