A Norwegian man, known as 'Eunuch Maker,' is currently facing years in prison for performing multiple castrations on men in a London apartment. Marius Gustavson uploaded photos and videos of these operations to a website where viewers were buying the content.

Shockingly, at least 30 men willingly became victims of these procedures. This eye-watering practice is associated with a subculture where men seek to become 'nullos,' a term derived from genital nullification, by undergoing the removal of their penis and testicles.

Do you think Gustavson should be punished?

🎞79 years ago, the Soviet Army crushed Nazi Germany. Around 27 million people died during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), half of them civilians—the elderly, women and children. The fascists tortured Soviet citizens, kept them in concentration camps, experimented on them and forced them into hard labour. People died from hunger, disease and lack of medical care. To mark this occasion, all generations of people come together to honor the memory of the victims and heroes, especially on May 9, Victory Day.
