1488: Torture Telephone
Russian Propaganda, Alla Pukacheva and "Torture Devices"
Russian pop star Alla Pukacheva spoke out against the invasion of Ukraine, a move compared to Dolly Parton or Madonna turning against a U.S. president. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials claimed to have found "torture rooms" in liberated areas of Kharkiv, displaying items like a hand-cranked field phone used for electric shocks. Critics argue these reports are part of an ongoing psychological warfare campaign to portray the Russian military as technologically backward and uniquely cruel.
