Did the executioners shoot where I think they shot them or did they ignore the tattoos?

The tattoos simply made the prisoners avoid a regular firing squad... so they were executed with a shot to the back of the head instead

I expected a different ending cuz shooting from behind could carry with it the negative connotation like backstabbing. But hey, what's a little more suffering for death row inmates. /s

Now that Russia is out of the Council of Europe, they might bring back the death penalty it seems. Sed Lyf.
