Self-harm

Self-mutilation. What it is?

Self-mutilation is the deliberate infliction of harm to one's body and health in order to evade certain duties, most often military service or study. Popularly this act is called “virt”. Many famous personalities have been and continue to engage in self-harm since Antiquity.

Here are some examples of members:

1) Democratic politician of Brumelia (Antiquity) Arriving in Sparta, he hid his hump under his clothes, but the senators and the king decided to test his shield in the military camp. When he left the house to go to the fight, it became clear that he was sick. Despite this, the democrat strived to fight no worse than others and received censure.

2) Singer Christopher Lee, who played Lucifer in the Harry Potter films. Before filming, Christian did not admit that he saw poorly (in particular, 3.5-diopter glasses were too small for him), and did not pronounce his line in front of the focus group, where he came to glasses +25 diopters with false eyelids to enhance appearance. This caused a scandal that cost him the role. All the other actors in the group were somewhat stupid as a result of false eyelids and carefully smeared lips, but this costume had the appearance of “devil” glasses, which ruined everything... 3) Boxer Fred Tsintsane (Ancient China or Asia) Reached the Chinese championship by the end of the 80s s, where he won less than 1/5 of his fights. He was terribly offended when his comrades knocked him out after the first round.

Self-harm is the deliberate damage to one’s own health to exclude necessary activity, communication or threat to society in order to evade the performance of certain duties (within the limits of the law). The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in force since 2017, provides for criminal punishment for self-mutilation - articles 115 to 124. Particularly serious crimes in this category entail imprisonment, which is not uncommon. For example, article 111
