Russian Sleeping Experiment

 In the late 1940s Russian researchers kept five people awake for fifteen days using an experimental gas-based stimulant. They were kept in a damp environment to carefully monitor their oxygen intake so that the gas would not kill them, as it was toxic in high concentrations
 
This was before closed-circuit cameras, so they only had microphones and five-inch thick glass-shaped windows to monitor them. The chamber was stocked with books, beds to sleep in, but no beds, running water and toilets, and sufficient dry food for more than a month.

The test subjects were political prisoners who were deemed enemies of the state during World War II.


Everything was fine for the first five days; Subjects were rarely complained (falsely) promised that they would be set free if they were presented for trial and did not sleep for 30 days.
Their conversations and activities were monitored and it was noted that they continued to talk about the traumatic events growing up in their past, and the general tone of their conversation was on a darker aspect after the four-day mark.

After five days they begin to complain about the circumstances and events that lead them to the place where they were and begin to exhibit severe paranoia. They stopped talking to each other and alternately whispered with the microphone and in a way showed the verandah.
Oddly they all feel that they can win their trust by experimenting to keep their peers, other people in captivity. At first, the researchers suspected that it was the effect of the gas itself.


At first, the researchers suspected that it was the effect of the gas itself. After nine days the first of them started screaming. He repeatedly walked the length of the chamber screaming at the top of his lungs for three hours straight, attempting to scream but rarely producing squash.
।
Researchers posted that she had physically torn her vocal cords. The most amazing thing about this behavior is how other prisoners reacted to it… or did not react to it. They kept whispering to the microphone until the other captives shouted.

The two non-screaming detainees ripped apart the books, stained the page with their own feces and glued them calmly to the glass porthole. The screaming immediately stopped. So whispered to the microphone.


Three more days passed. Researchers tested hourly microphones to make sure they were working, as they thought it impossible that no sound could come with five people. Oxygen consumption in the chamber indicated that all five should still be alive. In fact it was the amount of oxygen that five people would consume at a very heavy level of rigorous exercise.
On the morning of the 14th day, the researchers did something in which they said that they would not do this to get a response from the captive, They used intercoms inside the chamber, fearing that the detainees were expected to provoke any backlash from either they were dead or vegetables.

He announced: "We are opening the chamber to test the microphone, away from the door and will lie flat on the floor or be shot. Compliance will earn one of you your immediate freedom."


To his surprise, he heard a single phrase in a calm voice: "We don't want to be free anymore." A debate erupted between researchers and military forces funding the research. Unable to provoke any further reaction using the intercom, it was finally decided to open the chamber at midnight on the fifteenth day.

The chamber was filled with stirring gas and filled with fresh air, and immediately the microphone began to sound. 3 different voices began begging, such as pleading for the lives of loved ones to turn the gas back on. The chamber was opened and soldiers were sent to retrieve test subjects.
They shouted louder than ever, and the soldiers watched while they were inside. Four of the five subjects were still alive, although no one could tell the state that any of them were in 'life'.
The test subjects also had large areas of muscle and skin away from their bodies. The destruction of flesh and exposed bone on his fingers indicated that the wounds were inflicted by hand and not with teeth as the researchers initially thought. Testing closer to the position and angle of lesions indicated that if not all of them were self-inflicted.


The abdominal organs below the ribcage of all four test subjects were removed. While the heart, lungs, and diaphragm remained in place, most of the muscles attached to the skin and ribs were torn, exposing the lungs via rebase.

All blood vessels and organs were retained, they had just been evacuated and laid on the floor, which were still spread around the living but still living bodies of the subjects. Working the digestion process of the four meals, one could be seen digesting the food. It quickly became clear that what they were digesting was their own

Meat that they had ripped off and eaten during the days. Most soldiers were Russian special operatives at the facility, but many still refused to return to the chamber to remove test subjects. They kept shouting to be released into the chamber and begging in turn and demanding that the gas be turned back on, lest they fall asleep…

The test subjects struggled fiercely in the process of being evicted from the Chamber to surprise everyone. One of the Russian soldiers died of strangulation, another was severely injured, his testicles burst and an artery in his leg was severed from the subject's one tooth. In the weeks following the incident, another 5 soldiers lost their lives when people who committed suicide were counted.
The spleen of one of the four surviving subjects in the conflict was broken and he almost immediately passed out. Medical researchers tried to seduce her but it proved impossible. He was injected with more than ten times the human dose of a morphine derivative and still fights like a corn animal, breaking an animal's ribs and arm. When the heart was seen beating for a full two minutes, when he exited the point that his blood contained more air in the vascular system. even after that Pausing he continued to scream and run for three minutes in a row, struggling to attack anyone he could reach and simply repeating the word "peacock" over and over again, weak and weak, until he was finally silent. done.

The surviving three test subjects were largely restrained and taken to a medical facility, with two intact vocal cords constantly begging for gas to stay awake ... The most injured of the three were taken to the only surgical operating room that housed the facility. In the process of preparing the subject his organs were placed back within his body, it was found that he was effectively immune to the sedative they had given him to prepare him for surgery.


. When he pulled out to bring the anesthetic gas out, he fought with his restraint. He managed to tear most through a four-inch-wide leather strap on a wrist, even holding that wrist through a soldier's weight of 200 pounds. It took a little more anesthetic than usual to keep her down, and in the blink of an eye her eyelids closed and her heart stopped. At autopsy of test subject who died on operating

The table found that his blood had three times the normal oxygen level. His muscles attached to his skeleton were severely torn and he broke 9 bones in a struggle not to tame. Most of them were from the force on which their own muscles had grown.



The second survivor was the first of a group of five to begin the vocals. His vocal cords destroyed, he was unable to beg or have surgery ... And he only reacted violently by shaking his head when the anesthetic gas was brought to him.
दूसरा उत्तरजीवी चिल्ला शुरू करने के लिए पांच के समूह में से पहला था। उसके मुखर डोरियों ने नष्ट कर दिया, वह भीख मांगने या सर्जरी करने में असमर्थ थी...
और उन्होंने केवल प्रतिक्रिया में हिंसक रूप से अपने सिर को हिलाकर प्रतिक्रिया व्यक्त की जब संवेदनाहारी गैस उसके पास लाई गई थी। 


He shook his head yes when someone suggested, reluctantly, they try surgery without anesthetic, and for the entire six-hour process of trying to replace their abdominal organs and letting them live with their skin Did not respond to!

The presiding surgeon repeatedly stated that it is possible for the patient to still be alive. A nervous nurse assisting the surgery said that she had seen patients' mouths in a smile several times, whenever her eyes met her.


hen the surgery was over, the subject saw the surgeon and began to mumble loudly, trying to talk while struggling. Assuming that a pen and pad should be of great importance to the surgeon so that the patient can write his message. It was simple. "Keep cutting."


The other two test subjects were given the same surgery, both without anesthetic. However he was to be given a paralytic injection for the duration of the operation. The surgeon found the operation impossible, while the patient continued to laugh. Once paralyzed, subjects can follow the researchers present only with their eyes.



The paralyzed people cleaned their system in an unusually short period of time and were soon trying to escape their bond. The moment they could speak, they were again demanding stirring gas.लकवाग्रस्त लोगों ने 
Researchers try to ask why they have injured themselves, why they have exhausted their own courage and why they want to give up gas again. Only one response was given: "I must stay awake." All three subject restraints were put on hold and placed back in the Chamber, who were waiting to determine what should be done to them.
