Description

Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History, Volume 8, Number 1, Winter 2007, pp. 67-103 (Review)The arrests were admittedly indiscriminate and designed to inspire terror and disorientation. Some were taken off the street. Others were surprised in their beds in late-night roundups. One man was detained simply because he had a long beard, which suggested he might be a radical Muslim cleric. Once in the detention center, the detainees were led into a special room where they were told to face the wall and assume stress positions. Guards took turns watching to make sure no one slept or lay down, for days on end if need be, until the detainees were willing to testify.
