In the Middle Ages, and then in subsequent eras, those guilty and accused of crimes were tortured. The implements used by the executioners were very diverse. Among the sophisticated torture devices, it is worth noting pear of suffering … This, at first glance, a harmless object brought inhuman torment to those on whom it was used.
The Pear of Anguish was used to punish abortion women, homosexuals, blasphemers and liars. Women who were accused of witchcraft got it too.
There were four types of this device. One was injected into the vagina, the other into the male anus, the third into the mouth, and the fourth mutilated the nostrils. The principle of operation of the pear was as follows: after entering the instrument of torture in the right place, the executioner began to turn the screw of the device, and the four parts "opened" like flower petals, tearing the victim's flesh.
They did not die directly from torture by the pear itself. As a rule, other forms of torture followed. The pear was rarely washed (or not washed at all), so if the tortured person was “lucky” and was released, death overtook him due to blood poisoning.
History knows many types of torture that did not leave obvious marks on the human body, but at the same time deprived them of their life or suppressed the personality. Thousands of people were killed with food and insomnia.

Pear studies. Funny photo project by Stanislav Aristov
In Yekaterinburg, a special variety of pears was bred. Having matured, they become animate, able to think and feel, move and communicate with their own kind. Unless they have not been taught to talk. One can come to such a comic conclusion after seeing a no less amusing photo project of the Russian inventor Stanislav Aristov, who played a series of miniatures with pears, combining all the photos into a cycle of "iGrushki"
