What exactly is the ``Russian sleep experiment'' in which a person who did not sleep for 15 days went crazy and tore off his face and body?
One of the most popular episodes of
Russian Sleep Experiment - EXPLAINED - YouTube
The Russian Sleep Experiment is set in an experimental facility in the Soviet Union in the 1940s. There, research was being conducted on 'certain stimulants.'
This is a drug whose purpose is to produce soldiers who can continue fighting without sleep.
In fact, during World War II, the drug
Not to be outdone, the Soviet Union also began developing its own stimulant, and immediately succeeded in testing it on animals. So, I decided to try it on humans next time.
Prisoners of war were chosen as guinea pigs.
First, select five healthy prisoners and lock them in one room.
Stimulant gas and oxygen were pumped into the sealed room.
The POWs were given non-perishable food, and the rooms were equipped with running water, toilets, and beds.
The experiment was apparently monitored using cameras and microphones installed inside the room.
The experiment progressed smoothly for the first three days. The POWs spent three days in good spirits without sleeping.
The researchers expressed high hopes for the experiment, saying to each other, ``This will piss off the Nazis. Comrade Stalin will definitely be happy.''
The duration of this experiment was 30 days, and the prisoners were told that if they could stay awake for 30 days, they would be released. However, the Soviet Union had no intention of releasing the prisoners.
However, as we approached the fourth day, things became doubtful. POWs began to show signs of trauma, discussing nightmares they had on the battlefield.
On the fifth day, the situation worsened. The POW displayed psychopathic tendencies and began talking to someone not present or to himself.
However, up to this point, this was largely within the expectations of the researchers. It was already known that if you didn't sleep for five days, you would experience realistic hallucinations.
The researchers were interested in whether the hallucinations were an ``effect of stimulant gas'' or ``an effect of insomnia.''
However, by the 9th day, it became clear that the gas was to blame. One of the prisoners suddenly started running around screaming. This cannot be explained by mere hallucinations.
For the next few days, an eerie silence reigned in the room. The camera doesn't see anything, and there's no sound.
Oxygen was consumed properly, so it was certain that the prisoners were alive.
On the 15th day, half way through the experiment, the researchers finally decided to suspend the experiment. However, when I told the prisoners about this, a calm voice from inside the room replied, ``I don't want to be released anymore.''
Even so, when the researchers stopped dispersing gas into the room and brought in fresh air, the prisoners' screams echoed from inside the room.
And the prisoners begged, 'Give me gas!'
When the researchers stopped the experiment and entered the room, what awaited them was a scene from hell.
The prisoners had their skin and muscles torn off, and one prisoner was so disemboweled that his lungs could be seen moving.
The internal organs of a certain prisoner of war are neatly arranged on the floor...
Another prisoner was about to eat it.
When the researcher saw the devastation, he was horrified and immediately alerted the military and called for soldiers.
A struggle develops between the soldiers trying to get the prisoners out of the room and the prisoners who don't want to leave the laboratory.
Researchers administered a sedative to the captives that was enough to silence a huge moose with a single shot, but it had no effect.
One of the prisoners kept repeating, ``Give me gas, give me gas,'' even after his heart stopped beating and he collapsed.
One of the researchers involved in the scuffle suffered a broken bone.
Five soldiers lost their lives in the scuffle, and some reportedly committed suicide after the incident.
The three surviving prisoners were kept in tight custody.
'It wasn't supposed to be this way,' the researchers lament.
One of the surviving POWs died as soon as he was injected with anesthesia during surgery to replace his internal organs.
Therefore, the remaining two patients decided to undergo skin reconstruction surgery without anesthesia.
The prisoner kept grinning and laughing naughtily during the operation, so when the nurse handed him a piece of paper and a pen to ask him what was going on...
The POW wrote on a piece of paper, 'Keep chopping.'
Another POW said, ``Give me some gas!'' during the operation, and when the doctor asked him why, the POW replied, ``I have to stay awake.''
The doctor thinks, ``If these prisoners weren't so obsessed with eating their own internal organs, they'd be perfect for night shift cleaners and security guards.''
Then, a person involved who was an agent of
This is because I thought, ``Could the problems that the soldiers were experiencing be due to withdrawal symptoms from stimulants?''
When I actually gave them some gas, they started chatting energetically.
However, one of them eventually showed intense brain activity and died.
The other one was also reduced to nothing.
Then, one of the researchers suddenly shoots his superior, then shoots the surviving prisoner, shouting, 'I don't want to be with this guy!'
Then, when asked, 'Who the hell are you!?', the shot prisoner...
'Have you forgotten that? We are you.'
'We are the madness lurking in your hearts.'
“In the animal-like hearts that sleep deep within you, I always wish for the moment when you can be free.”
'A shinobi in your bed every night...'
'As you slip away into sleep, I will make you unable to move or speak.'
The researcher who heard this shot and killed the last prisoner... This is the detailed story of the 'Russian sleep experiment.'
This story went viral on the internet. But of course it's just a myth.
Just by reading it, you can tell that it was written by someone who has to study grammar.
Also, there are some tsukkomi in the story. For example, in one section it was written that ``It is clear that the POW was alive based on the oxygen concentration''...
The next development is that ``we have decided to suspend the experiment because we don't know what happened to the prisoners.''
Also, if you were to remove live livers and lay them out on the floor, they would die immediately from blood loss.
Of course, no gases have been discovered that can keep people awake for 15 days or turn them into 'self-hating zombies.'
Indeed, soldiers during World War II suffered from insomnia...
It is true that drugs were distributed to soldiers.
However, even severe drug addicts can only stay awake for 24 to 36 hours at most.
In addition, an experiment conducted by the Department of Defense concluded that people who stay awake for 48 hours lose their mental capacity and are therefore completely useless as soldiers.
In the first place, it is doubtful whether the Soviet Union conducted such an experiment. Also, there are no papers that support this story.
On the other hand, there is a disease called Morvan syndrome that causes insomnia and hallucinations...
It is true that during the war, torture such as ``sleep deprivation'' was carried out.
The movie concludes with the conclusion that ``Still, the story of a prisoner of war who became like a poisonous gas or a zombie is completely unbelievable.''
The ``Russian sleep experiment'' has been judged as ``False'' by Snopes.com , which verifies the authenticity of urban legends and fake news.
