Nonsense, rubbish. In medieval Russia castration was used very rarely, was usually spontaneous out of personal revenge and was not enshrined in law, unlike in Europe and Muslim countries. The was no institution of eunuchs in Russia. The usual practice for punishing high-ranking person was to blind them.

Hi "S" that's a fair question, and I appreciate your skepticism! While it's true that castration wasn't as widespread or institutionalized in medieval Russia, historical records suggest it was occasionally used for revenge or as a form of punishment during extreme periods, like under Ivan the Terrible. I’d encourage you to check the video description for further reading and sources on this topic. It provides more context and references that support the exploration of this aspect of Russian history.TNx for sharing
