Science Behind the Mystery — Episode 1 : Russian sleep experiment
Assalamu Alaikum
One of the most heinous experiments in human history where research is conducted on living people, today we will find out whether this experiment really happened or is there some other conspiracy behind it. This is the infamous Russian sleep experiment. I think many people know this story but I will give a short summary. In 1947, the Soviet Union created a gas that could keep their soldiers awake for 30 days. I mean, think about it, your soldiers are not sleeping on the battlefield and they are able to fight 24/7. what an advantage. To test this chemical, five prisoners were put into a chamber as test subjects for 30 days and they were exposed to this gas that would force them to wake up. Inside the chamber, there were basic items for the prisoners and a porthole window was kept for observation from the outside and a microphone was kept for talking and listening. For the first five days everything was normal but their speech gradually became slurred. Due to lack of sleep they started acting abnormally and on the ninth day one of them started screaming so loudly that his vocal cords were torn. And surprisingly this did not affect the other prisoners. When another one started screaming the others closed the porthole window so that the scientists could not see anything inside. Then suddenly everything went silent, on the 15th day when the scientists turned off the gas and opened the door to the chamber to check inside they found that one of them was already dead and the rest were behaving like crazy. Some were cutting their stomachs and taking out their intestines, some were starting to eat their own organs and everyone was cutting their own bodies and making a state of loneliness. When the prisoners were taken out of the chamber, they showed signs of inhuman strength and sleeplessness. Everyone kept screaming and begging for gas, it seemed like they would not survive without gas. At one point, they became violent and attacked and one soldier died, somehow it was decided to treat them and send them back to the sleeping chamber, but before that, one of them died because he fell asleep. and the situation gets so bad that the remaining test subjects have to be shot dead, and the last test subject's last words before dying were "so nearly free". So this is a short summary of the Russian sleep experiment. I am giving the full article of this experiment here, if you want, you can read the whole thing Russian sleep experiment. Now let's come to our main topic, is this Russian sleep experiment really true or just a horror friction? If you read this story carefully, then like me, you will have several confusions in your mind that have no logical answers. It is true that in historical wars, soldiers were given amphetamines to stay alert on the battlefield, but no such drug has ever been heard of that can keep a soldier awake for 30 days. Various researches have shown that if someone is kept awake for more than 48 hours, his thinking power is lost, his work speed decreases and he keeps making wrong decisions. So you can understand that keeping soldiers awake in the battlefield is not a good decision in any way, and it is also true that not sleeping causes many mental and physical problems, but the kind of side effects mentioned in the Russian sleep experiment are not possible in any way. I mean, if you think with a little common sense, if someone takes out his necessary organs, he is not supposed to survive. Various major websites like snopes, news.com.au who verify the truth of various events have claimed that this Russian sleep experiment is a supernatural friction that was uploaded in creepypasta in August 2010. Creepypasta is a website where all the strangest stories are found, finally there is no author or authentic source for this story. The username of the person who uploaded this story in creepypasta is orangesoda and his real name has not been found yet. Finally, this picture is used more in russian sleep experiment SPAZM but this is not a picture of a test subject, this is a doll for hallowing decoration.
And this picture of four soldiers wearing masks is a sample of what kind of masks the USA, UK, France and Germany used in World War I. That also leaves a question as to why so many people believe this or why they still do it despite so many loopholes in the story. In fact, the image of Russia has been created in such a way that we think that Russia can do anything. In addition, various novels, short films, dramas and even movies have been made inspired by this story. And these activities have made the sleep experiment famous and many people think that they are based on true stories. Finally, we can conclude that the Russian sleep experiment is not a true story, it is just a friction. Today's discussion concludes here. I hope you've found it interesting. Please share your thoughts on today's topic. Prayers for everyone. May everyone be well. Amen.
