The moment before a Wagner prisoner has his head smashed in with a sledgehammer

Horizontally with a sledgehammer - it would have been more accurate to do it with the poor man lying down, less chance of a missed swing, but the animals probably wanted him upright for the maximum psychological damage to anyone who sees it.

It's honestly pretty stupid because it's a fairly quick and relatively painless way to die. All it shows is their stupidity because there are multiple ways of doing this same thing without creating a jenga tower cobbled together with masking tape attached to a dude's head.

Just like 99% of Russia, they do something stupid because they think it makes them look cool.

I think I saw this video unless there have been multiple incidents.

I remember them clocking him on the jaw with the first swing, kind of low. It knocked him out of the plastic wrap and he fell to the floor, then the executioner steps over his body and brings the hammer down again. The last hit was out of frame.

Apparently killing people with sledgehammers is a pretty common thing for the Wagner group

(It's not that video, just roughly 6 minutes of pure '80s fever dream)
