Prisoner Diets in Russia Describe Harsh Conditions
Repatriated British subjects recount dire living in Russian prisons. Hostages faced scant bread, meagre meals of soup with beet tops and rotten fish parts, and limited hot water due to fuel shortages. In Petrograd and Moscow zones the diet averaged well below English standards while kitchen workers claimed most nourishment. Limited English education among detainees left many ill-prepared for recovery.
