According to Dmitry Rogozin police employees fit well the interior of the medieval torture chambers.
Translated from NewsRu:
The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Rogozin made a rude joke about MVD during his visit to Moldova and Transnistria.
After the talks with the leaders of Moldova and the breakaway republic [ed: Transnistria], Rogozin visited Bendery Fortress. There he took a number of pictures and shared them in his Twitter account.
The high official accompanied the picture above with the following signature:
“Bendery fortress built by the Turks contains many secrets: a torture chamber. MVD workers look [in it] harmoniously.“
Rogozin also captured the fortress itself – apparently at the end of the tour.

The scenario – “want to be famous? Be late.” has changed.
The current version is – “want to be famous? Be bold and have free talk”.
Nothing quite like a politician making a joke that others would in a public format. If half the rumors of Russia are true, then he can only get away saying that because he’s in office. If some normal guy said that, and could be easily traced, he’d be shown how those torture instruments work. *nod*
Well, its not like he didn’t say something that virtually all Russians thought. But, I agree with most commenters, he should have kept his mouth shut, politicians shouldn’t make crude jokes.
Rogozin without his crude jokes would not be Rogozin; he would just be another empty suit bureaucrat.
Comments like these only support the disdain many Russians have for their police force. The fact that it was a political official only gives the comment more weight. I know they plan to supplement the police force with unpaid Cossack patrolmen but I wonder if Russian officials have considered anything as drastic as what Georgia did with their traffic police. Georgia’s new force enjoys renewed public support as well as a huge drop in corruption.
It’s interesting to see how the supplement of Cossacks will work.
This is controversial initiative, since Cossacks have their own cultural, religious (and probably political) agenda.
I am sure that the representatives of ethnic minorities won’t feel very happy to be treated by Cossacks.
