On May 18th 1933, on the direct orders of Stalin himself, 5000 men and women arrived at Nazino, a small isolated island on the River Orb, deep in the remote and barren wilderness of Western Siberia. Within a matter of weeks, 4000 of them would either just die from exposure, disappear, drown or be eaten.
This was the real life Battle Royale.
