THE ROAD OF TORTURE
ON WHICH WENT |
 |
 |
The hallway of Riga KGB, with cells |
|
A solitary cell, one of the methods of torture. In such a cell it is impossible to stretch nor to sleep. Those arrested were first made exhausted in order to reduce their strength and resistance ability during questioning. |
|
|
The yard of the KGB where sometimes the arrested were taken for a walk. |
 |
 |
|
 |
One of KGB cells. During the night there suddenly the shout was to be heard «Get up!» KGB men called the names of the arrested. The ones who were called were ordered to follow - along endless hallways they were led to a room. |
|
THIS WAS THE SHOOTING GALLERY |
|
|
Here care was taken about everything: in order that the shots did not ruin the walls they were covered with wood, the doors were covered with soft paneling - its well known how well it muffles the sound. The floors were covered with cement plates in order to more easily wash off the blood (Left). |
 |
THOSE WHO ENTER THIS ROOM NEVER RETURN ALIVE FROM HERE |
| A scene in the shooting gallery | |
|
So that the blood of the martyrs did not spatter the walls, they were covered with special coated cloth. The blood ran away through a drain in the corner of the shooting gallery. After the horror job was committed, the room was rinsed for the next time. In this way in a groove surrounding the drain 240 bullets were later found and collected. How many were rinsed down the drain? |
