This class covers the subject primarily about what happened to the Russian soldiers that were gassed, so there will be descriptions of what happened to the men that died on August 6, 1915. There will not be too graphic depictions of what happened to the Russian forces. There will be no attempts to be gory for shock factor, but rather it will be described clinically what happens to the body when bromine and chlorine gases come into contact with it. Furthermore this will not try to paint either side as heroes or villains, but simply two opposing factions in a conflict to avoid any kind of biased narrative. As this class covers topics such as warfare, there will be mentions of casualties.
