22/ Many non-Muslim prisoners have chosen to go to war rather than live with unending torture and degradation. Romanova says that "roughly, about 45% of all prisoners [from IK-6 and IK-7] were taken to war. They are taking more, and people are going, because it is unbearable to be there. In war, it is better than in the Omsk zone. It is a chance to avoid torture."
23/ "I want to say that in many colonies torture stopped during the war: you can’t spoil goods for the Ministry of Defence. But in Omsk, nothing has stopped." /end
