@aiwmark: Do you really think no one escaped Soviet prisons? Plenty of inmates tried—because when you’re facing twenty years, there’s nothing left to lose. One of the most common ways was through the sewer system. They would dive headfirst into cesspits and crawl through pipes filled with filth. By the time they got out on the other side of the fence, they were covered in waste and smelled so bad that even tracking dogs struggled to follow their scent. Some hid in garbage trucks. They buried themselves in rotting trash and leftovers, then climbed out once the truck had driven far enough. Covered in filth—but free. The dumbest method was a direct run for the perimeter. A man would sprint, jump onto the fence, tearing his skin on barbed wire, and keep climbing. Nine out of ten times, it ended with a bullet in the back. Sometimes the body would be left hanging on the wire until morning as a warning. Others were more calculated. They dug tunnels for months using spoons. They hid the dirt in their pockets and scattered it around the yard. The work was slow, done at night, in complete silence. One man spent half a year digging. He made it past the fence—only to be caught immediately and have five more years added to his sentence. So escaping a Soviet prison was rarely a good idea. #тюремныеистории #советскийсоюз
