Have you heard about the Koriukivka massacre before? This is one of the most painful I have ever seen.

Koriukivka massacre is the mass murder of 6,700 residents of the village of Koriukivka (now a town in the Chernihiv region of Ukraine), carried out on March 1-2, 1943 by units of the Hungarian military gendarmerie during the Second World War.

The scale of the tragedy is exceptional among the population centers of Ukraine, the USSR and Europe. In terms of the number of victims,Koriukivka murders are almost 45 times higher than Belarusian Khatyn, 41 times higher than Czech Lidice, and 12 times higher than French Oradur.

The mass killing of civilians was a punitive operation by Hungarian units in response to the actions of Soviet partisans led by the NKVD officer of the USSR Oleksiy Fedorov.

The fact that the partisan group of O. Fedorov's troops outnumbered the punishers by the number of soldiers by almost 10 times, which adds to the tragedy of this event, but the partisans did nothing to save the residents of Koriukivka.

anesthetic for performing surgical operations was used....

anesthetic for performing surgical operations was used around 1846 (ether, by Dr. Robert Liston) But how did they do it before that time, when they had to operate on someone? Simple. The patient was kneeled with his head stuck inside a pot and placed on an anvil. At that point an employee hit the pot with a mallet, an action that made the unfortunate person lose consciousness for the duration of the operation. Of course it wasn't infallible, because either he didn't faint right away or they woke up during the operation.
