In almost all cities and large settlements where military units of the Russian army were based, places of detention of civilians and prisoners of war were set up. The most common methods of torture were: passing an electric current, severe beating with sticks and other objects, there are facts of tearing off nails and other terrible tortures, including the use of gas masks for suffocation," he said.
