Condemned prisoners walked to execution without any protest or revolt.

Evidence

Ciliga, op. cit., pp. 96–97. He also describes how in the twenties even ordinary prisoners in the GPU prison of Leningrad who had been condemned to death allowed themselves to be taken to execution “without a word, without a cry of revolt against the Government that put them to death” (p. 183). — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2690

Categorization
