A KGB torture cell. The raised flat plate on the floor is what a
prisoner would have stood on, while the floor below would be flooded with about 20cm of
cold water. The naked prisoner was forced to stand on the plate, sometimes for days
on end, trying to remain conscious, eventually falling asleep and collapsing into the
frigid water, then would have to get back up on the plate again quickly or risk a beating.
(or got one anyway). In winter the water would freeze and buckets of icy cold water
would be thrown over the naked prisoner.
