Witchcraft Trials in Europe and the Russian Empire

One of the Jesuits wrote at the end of the XVI century: Our prisons are filled with witches and sorcerers. There is no day that our judges not blurred their hands in their blood and that we did not return home, shuddering from sad thoughts about terrible, disgusting things in which these witches are recognized. But the devil is so skillful that we barely have time to send a witches to the fire, as new witches arise from their ashes". Inquisitors worked on glory: only in the rule of King Francis I in France was burned over one hundred thousand women. The same thing happened throughout Europe - in Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, other countries. They destroyed beauties and dugushki, smarts and mentally ill, were erected on fires on charges of intercourse with the devil of ancient old women and ten-year-old girls who were distinguished from an impersonal crowd.
