Actually I read about the execution method for the Soviet Union. You'd be called up to the warden's office and given a pen and piece of paper to write to the Premier asking for clemency. Once you were done you were taken back to your cell and on the way the executioner would jump out of a cell behind you and shoot you in the back of the head. It was considered a merciful way to kill someone. Give them hope, relax them, and then the surprise blammo
