what do?

Tell them I can't speak Russian

Confess

Congratulations, now they know that you are Finnish/Polish/German/British/American/French spy.

I tell 'em suckers that I wouldn't bow down to such a clown and if I was given a gun I'd kill him myself.

I arm myself with my 1895 Nagant service revolver, call Stalin on the phone and tell that son of a bitch to call his goons off, and come down and do the job himself if he has the stones

Hi Semyon

Only thing you could have done by that point is sign and try not to die in the next 8-25 years.

What you should have done is scream and fight and resist as soon as they showed up to arrest you. Even if you caught a bullet.

Ask koba why does he need me to die.

;_;

And get shot immediately.

Tell them I'm Stalin's bastard son.

I remember reading about a Russian general who got a death warrant issued on him during the officer purge, but in the chaos the NKVD forgot to actually kill him. So he sat in a gulag until 1950, when he worked up the courage to write to Stalin, begging him for a pardon. Realizing his mistake, Stalin promptly re-issued the death warrant and made sure it was actually carried out this time.

>Implying Stalin cared about his sons

tell him that you are king of england

>get shot immediately
not so fast fashist-capitalist scum, you have to suffer

One of his sons was an alcoholic. That may have been why he attempted suicide.

lol who dis

Well first I ask him how I traveled back in time, learned Russian and ended up in Russia. Then I politely remind him that I am Greek

>remind him that I am Greek
so you confess

Probably admit to everything tbqh. If the fucking NKVD is investigating you then no matter what you're going to be found guilty.

tell him that Bukharin and Karl Radek told me to do it

Admit I am guilty of wrecking, wrecking his moms ass lmao

>"I am a pajeet tourist here to see the wonders of the workers' society comrade"

Lets assume you are an enemy of the state, that's the only reason we are pulled out of bed

What can we do in a torture cell? Not going to post that

We would tell the torturers what they want to hear. We hope for a quick death, they will oblige. Our body will be cremated and our ashes would be put in a barrel, until there are enough, and then we will all be thrown into the river

kek

it happened once that one of the top party members was arrested and interrogated by Beria in the late 30s, then it looks like the guy heard an insult to his mother or something so he out of nowhere jumped over Beria and almost killed him but then one of Beria's guys rushed into the room and managed to choke the guy to death

Depends on the time.

During Yezhov, confess, try to grab guard's gun, shoot as many as possible. I'll be shot regardless.

During Yagoda, confess if it's less than execution (my deplorable slander against Comrade Stalin, but I never collaborated with the wrecking engineers and their capitalist masters), frantically try to escape during transit from a temporary prison to a proper Gulag, run to the countryside, change name, grow beard and shave it off and grow it again.

During Beria, confess to less than execution. Bide my time until the German advance, try to escape (or die trying) and make it to occupied German territory, pretend to have Soviet logistics info on railroads. Maybe shot, Probably hauled off to a camp, but at least it won't be as cold as Siberia. Some such men were actually allowed to be volunteers, and had the chance to run off. It's the best shot.

Most got "Tenners", then their sentences were extended, or they were let out a few years until another charge was trumped up and they were hauled back.

You stop at the knock on the door and grab your fucking service rifle, then ring up Stalin.

Why were they so desperate to get a confession?
Some people actually survived by not confessing.
I never truly understood that part. You'd think they could just forge it.
