Sacrifices, blood feuds, executions - all of these variants of the legalized taking of human life by others have existed since ancient times, and they were all considered necessary. At the same time, people have always realized that the death penalty is horrible. It is no coincidence that criminals were often preferred to be condemned to exile, so as not to defile their native land with spilled blood. It is no coincidence that Socrates could not be executed until the ship returned to Athens, sent to the sacred festival - if the philosopher drank a bowl of cicuta at the time when the rites in honor of Apollo, the god would be offended. It is no coincidence that executioners were feared and shunned. And yet in different eras, in different societies and cultures, people were condemned to execution. Historian Tamara Eidelman tells us how ordinary citizens, politicians, philosophers, writers, and artists treated it.
