The memoirs of the Belarusian party worker Yakov Drobinsky describe the methods of investigation in the Minsk Central Prison in 1938:
"At ten he was again led through this corridor, into this room – but what a difference! During the day it was a quiet corridor, quiet offices in which neat, well-groomed people leafed through folders. In the evening Andrei walked as if through a line – the cries of the tortured, the square cursing of the torturers rushed from all the rooms. A body lying on the floor flashed somewhere. Andrey saw a crimson familiar face. It was Lyubovich – an old Bolshevik, Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Republic, Chairman of the State Planning Commission. He was in the first government created by Lenin in October 1917. He entered there as Deputy People's Commissar of Communications Podbelsky. He was a member of the Small Council of People's Commissars, worked with Lenin. Now he was lying on the floor, being whipped with rubber, and he, an old sixty-year-old man, shouted: "Mom!". An instant, but it stuck in my memory forever".
