One was the Ukrainian poet and nationalist Vasyl Stus. The authorities called it a suicide, but survivors say that, for fun, the guards unscrewed one of the wooden planks from the wall and dropped it on Stus’s head as he lay sleeping.
20世纪80年代柏姆36号关押的56名“危险惯犯”中死亡7人。其中一位是乌克兰诗人兼民族主义者瓦西里·斯塔茨（Vasyl Stus）。当局说他是自杀，但幸存者说是警卫为了取乐拧开了墙上的木板，斯塔茨在熟睡时被木板砸到了头。
