After two years of war in Ukraine, videos of death and torture have become commonplace in Russia. And methods of torture once only spoken about in witness testimonials are now being promoted online by the perpetrators themselves as they publish photos and videos of brutality for bragging rights.
What a fucked up society to cheer for coercion from torture and rape to domestic violence and not feel the least bit empathy. Deranged.
There was that US TV series basically celebrating torture called 24. Not to mention every other movie or TV series with an interrogation scene.
You compare a TV series with the actual cheering of russian people for rape and torture in ukraine? When the pictures of Guantanamo and other black sides went public the outcry and protest were big. Please, show me the protest in russia about the revelations that their own people rape and torture. I will wait here.

It was literally in the article:
The Crew Against Torture, a Russian NGO that was previously known as the Committee Against Torture, said with regards to the original attack that “the answer to barbarism must not be barbarism”, and that that the value of testimony extracted by law enforcement agents under torture was critically low.
A Supreme Court judge (Scalia) made the case that torture was legal under the US Constitution, as it only prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. So, torture for other reasons is obviously fine.
I think, never stopping to consider the implications must count as an example of “white privilege”.
Yeah it’s only punishment if they’re guilty. The founders obviously intended that the feds could torture any innocent person for any reason.
What a psychopath. Glad he’s dead.
Literally never in their history has it ever been unthinkable, or even discouraged.
Lolbruh, no, it was very thinkable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
By the time the men accused of murdering 137 people at a concert on Friday night appeared in court in Moscow on Sunday, their faces were swollen and disfigured, their eyes vacant.
The photograph was published by a Telegram channel connected to the Wagner paramilitary group and suggested Fariduni had been shocked with 80 volts and water had been poured over his body to “intensify the effect”.
There is little to no sympathy in Russia for the gunmen who stormed the Crocus City Hall on Friday night and carried out the worst terrorist attack on Russian soil since the Beslan school siege of 2004.
In 2017, after an IS bombing of a St Petersburg Metro station, Human Rights Watch found that one suspect during his detention was threatened with rape with a stick; two were given electric shocks to their genitals.
The Russian defence ministry on Monday released footage of an awards ceremony showing several members of an elite border unit who caught the gunmen and might have taken part in their brutal treatment.
The officer who cut off Rachabalizoda’s ear had military patches including a far-right Totenkopf (dead person’s head) previously worn by Nazi SS units.
