7181historical_info = flavor_rus.66.historical_info The Secret Office of Investigation played a major part during the rule of Empress Anna Ioannovna, who used it to keep her political opponents in check as a means of securing her authoritarian rule. Punishments included having one's nose slit or being beaten to death by a knout, which was a typical whip characterized by a rawhide thong or a rope connected to an extended wooden handle. It is estimated that around twenty-thousand nobles became victims of political purges.
