Agent Beloglazov reaches the door of 
SCP-3957 and runs through. Beloglazov 
frantically informs the security officers standing 
beside the door to close it immediately. 
SCP-3957 is closed as instructed. 

<End Recording> 

Closing Statement: After careful review of the 
SCP-3957-1-A instances, it appears they are 
wearing uniforms consistent with those worn 


by prison guards in the Perm Krai district of 
Russia during the 1930’s. Whether or not 
these instances are anomalous human beings 
or an entirely separate race altogether is 
unknown.

Exploration SCP-3957-B 

Date: April 2, 1998 

Procedure: Five exploration team members 
(Agents Ivanov, Kovrov, Levkin, Mager, and 
Mamin) are to enter SCP-3957 and document 
the interior. Units are dressed in uniforms 
identical to those of SCP-3957-1-A instances. 
Gas masks are equipped with special one-way 
mirror lenses to avoid detection. 

All units are equipped with a concealed radio 
for communication. Agent lvanov was 
instructed to stand near the door of SCP-3957. 
In the event of detection by instances of 
SCP-3957-1-A, all other agents are to inform 
Agent Ivanov via radio. Upon receiving word of 
capture, Agent Ivanov was instructed to exit 
SCP-3957 and close the door immediately. 
Results: Exploration team entered SCP-3957 
at 11:00 hours. All agents except for Agent 
Ivanov proceeded into SCP-3957. At 11:24 
hours, Agent Ivanov exited SCP-3957 and 
closed the door. Upon being questioned by 
Researcher Uri as to what happened within 
SCP-3957, Agent Ivanov responded by 
claiming that Agent Mager radioed in, 
frantically yelling that the instances of 
SCP-3957-1-D were able to detect them. Upon 
detection, an accompanying instance of 
SCP-3957-1-A demanded identification papers 
from the agents, who were then attacked and 
pursued when they failed to produce said 


documents. 

Closing Statement: It would seem as though 
matching uniforms are not enough. 
Documentation will be needed. Dr. Aslanov+ 
will be contacted for information on potential 
officials whom we may be able to forge papers 
from.

Exploration SCP-3957-C 

Date: May 12, 1998 

Procedure: Two exploration team members 
(Agents Afonin and Bok) are to enter 
SCP-3957 and attempt to document the 
interior. Agents were supplied with NKVD 
uniforms and forged papers signed by 
[REDACTED], Commissioner General of State 
Security. Signed papers give authorization for 
entry into SCP-3957 and call for thorough 
inspection of the prison facility. Agent Afonin 
was given a hidden camera with 2 hours worth 
of tape. 

Agent Afonin was instructed to enter the facility 
and proceed with exploration, with Agent Bok 
being stationed near the entrance. In the event 
of an SCP-3957-1-A attack, Agent Afonin was 
instructed to contact Agent Bok, whereupon 
the latter would exit and close the door. 
Results: Agents Afonin and Bok entered 
SCP-3957 at 13:00 hours. Upon entry, Agent 
Bok held position near the entrance of 
SCP-3957. Agent Afonin proceeded roughly 
25 meters into the cell block, whereupon an 
instance of SCP-3957-1-A approached the 
agent (dubbed henceforth as SCP-3957-1- 
A-1). SCP-3957-1-A-1 demanded identification 
from Agent Afonin, who proceeded to display 
authorization papers. Following inspection, 


SCP-3957-1-A-1 profusely apologized to the 
agent, stating that all SCP-3957-1-A instances 
were instructed to demand signed 
authorization papers in case of “interlopers 
sent by the counter-revolutionaries’. 

Upon receiving instructions from Agent Afonin 
for a tour of the facility, SCP-3957-1-A-1 
proceeded to escort Agent Afonin throughout 
SCP-3957. Agent Afonin began documenting 
with video at this point. 


<Begin Recording | 13:08> 

Agent Afonin and SCP-3957-1-A-1 proceed 
deeper into the cell block for roughly 2 
minutes. 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: As you can see, sir, our 
prisoners are kept in an animated state at all 
times, despite not receiving any food or water. 
Agent Afonin: | can see. How are they kept 
alive? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Alas, that information was 
withheld even from us. Only Dr. Alexei Yarstev 
knows that. 

Agent Afonin: And where might | find this 
doctor? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Dr. Alexie Yarstev was 
called away on urgent business to take care of 
another project by Tovarisch Stalin. | am sure 
he will return soon, however. 

Agent Afonin: When exactly was this? 
SCP-3957-1-A-1: 1939. 

Agent Afonin: Alright, then. 

Agent Afonin stopped at this point, turning to 
face a closed cell containing Agent Levkin. 
SCP-3957-1-A-1: Is something the matter, sir? 
Agent Afonin: This prisoner here, when was 
he incarcerated? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: One month ago. 

Agent Afonin: Was there anyone else with 
him? 


SCP-3957-1-A-1: Three accomplices were 
found and recovered. We believe they were 
attempting to contact a fourth interloper, 
however, we failed to recover him. We have 
been thoroughly subjecting all party members 
to extensive interrogation as to where they 
came from and what they were doing here. 
Agent Afonin: Oh? And what have they told 
you? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Currently, none of the 
intruders have relieved information. However, 
we are slowly breaking them down. Our 
interrogators have proven most effective at 
instilling fear into them. It’s only a matter of 
time before one of them confesses to their 
crimes. 

Agent Afonin Oh, | see. And where are the 
interrogations taken place? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Within the interrogation 
wing, of course! Come, this way. 

Agent Afonin is escorted by SCP-3957-1-A-1 
towards one of the doorways within the side of 
the cellblock. Agent Afonin and SCP-3957-1- 
A-1 traverse a narrow corridor for about two 
minutes before exiting through another door. 
Both individuals enter a long corridor of 
smaller width than the cell block. Rooms for 
interrogation purposes are stationed on the 
opposite side of the hall. 

Agent Afonin: | take it this is the interrogation 
wing? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Correct. For every seven 
days a prisoner spends within their cell, we 
take them out and to the interrogation rooms. 
Agent Afonin: Why seven days? 
SCP-3957-1-A-1: To allow the hunger and 
thirst to set in. After all, despite the prisoners 
not being able to die from malnutrition in here, 
their minds are not as immune. 

Agent Afonin: Psychological torture? 


SCP-3957-1-A-1: It acts as a preliminary step. 
We use it to soften up our prisoners before we 
take them into the interrogation rooms. 

Agent Afonin: And how exactly are these 
interrogations carried out? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Perhaps a demonstration 
would better answer your question, sir. 
SCP-3957-1-A-1 and Agent Afonin enter an 
interrogation room across the hall. Inside, an 
instance of SCP-3957-1-C (hereafter referred 
to as SCP-3957-1-C-1 is busy questioning a 
prisoner (hereafter referred to as 

Subject-395 7-1). 

Subject-3957-1: Please, | told you | am nota 
counter-revolutionary. My family was always 
loyal to the state; we would never- 
SCP-3957-1-C-1: LIAR! Your uncle was a 
member of the Old Bolsheviks; he was named 
as one of Zinoviev’s co-conspirators! Admit 
your participation in the assassination plots 
and the names of your accomplices and pay 
your debt to the state! 

Subject-3957-1 notices Agent Afonin at this 
point. 

Subject-3957-1: Please, | did nothing wrong. 
We had no idea that my uncle was involved in 
such things. Please tell him | did nothing 
wrong! 

SCP-3957-1-C-1 notices Agent Afonin at this 
point. 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: This is Yakimov®. He is 
here on orders for inspection of the prison. 
SCP-3957-1-C-1 salutes Agent Afonin. 
SCP-3957-1-C-1: Greetings sir. | apologize for 
the lack of information gathered from this 
Zinovievite sympathizer, but | assure you we 
will uncover who he is working with soon. 
SCP-3957-1-A-1: Understood. Carry on. 
SCP-3957-1-C-1: Yes sir. Now, as for you, we 
have no place for counter-revolutionaries in 


the state. 

SCP-3957-1-C-1 removes his gloves and 
places his hands on Subject-3957-1, who 
expresses significant discomfort, beginning to 
scream in pain. This continues for about a 
minute before SCP-3957-1-C-1 removes his 
hands from the prisoner and resumes 
interrogation. 

SCP-3957-1-C-1: I'll ask you one more time 
before you’re taken back to the cells, who are 
your accomplices? 

Subject-3957-1: OK... OK... the other person 
involved is Abid Bogrov. He... He was there in 
the meetings. 

SCP-3957-1-C-1: And where might we find 
him? 

Subject-3957-1: His family’s farm. They live 
just outside of Perm Krai. 

SCP-3957-1-C-1: Very well. Take this man for 
conversion. 

Subject-3957-1: What? No! | told you what | 
know! | do not deserve this! 

SCP-3957-1-C-1: On the contrary, this is 
exactly what you deserve. You and your 
accomplices have attempted to usurp the 
state, and for that, you will spend eternity 
serving it. 

At this point, an instance of SCP-3957-1-A 
standing in the corner of the room grabs hold 
of Subject-3957-1 and takes him out of the 
room. 

Agent Afonin: What exactly is the conversion 
process? 

SCP-3957-1-C-1: The prisoner will be taken to 
the surgical unit in the back of the facility, 
where they will undergo conversion into one of 
the workers that I’m sure you have seen 
tending to the prison. 

Agent Afonin: So those custodians, they were 
all prisoners? 


SCP-3957-1-A-1: Correct. This way, they are 
bound to eternal servitude to the state. 

Agent Afonin: Where exactly is the surgical 
unit? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Allow me to show you, 
comrade. This way. 

SCP-3957-1-A-1 escorts Agent Afonin out of 
the interrogation room. The two proceed 
further into the prison through the interrogation 
wing corridor. At the end of the corridor, the 
two proceed through a doorway leading back 
to the cell block. In the cell block, at the end of 
the chamber, there is a large metallic double- 
doorway leading to the surgical unit. 

The surgical unit is a small room composed of 
concrete. In the center is an operating table 
with arm and leg restraints. To the left side of 
the room is a series of cabinets with unknown 
contents. There is a table with surgical 
implements on the opposite side of the room. 
SCP-3957-1-E can be seen standing in front of 
the table across the room; the instance is 
dormant. 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: This is the surgical unit, sir. 
This is where the counter-revolutionaries are 
converted into the workers you see roaming 
the facility. 

Agent Afonin: Is that thing responsible for 
their conversion? 

Agent Afonin points towards SCP-3957-1-E. 
SCP-3957-1-A-1: Correct, sir. This is our 
surgeon; he oversees the surgical operations 
in which prisoners are converted into workers, 
as well as handling their repairs, and creating 
the hounds we use. 

Agent Afonin: Those “hounds” | saw... How 
are they made? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: When one or more workers, 
or one of our own is damaged beyond repair, 
the remains are used to create the hounds. 


Agent Afonin: | see. Is there any way | can 
speak with the surgeon? 

SCP-3957-1-A-1: Alas, I’m afraid the surgeon 
does not speak, nor will he become active until 
there is something for him to operate on. 
Agent Afonin: Ah, OK then. Well, | believe 
I’ve seen everything | need to. Thank you for 
your cooperation, officer. 

Agent Afonin proceeds back to the entrance of 
SCP-3957, and exits SCP-3957 with Agent 
Bok. 

Closing Statement: We now have a layout of 
SCP-3957. Attempts will be made soon to 
retrieve our other agents currently held within 
SCP-3957.6 


Addendums: 


+ List of Addendums for SCP-3957 


Addendum SCP-3957-A: The combination for 
SCP-3957 is 9177 


Addendum SCP-3957-B: Following testing, SCP-3957’s 
anomalous vanishing properties were confirmed. On the 
date of January 4, 1998, D-4322 was implanted with a 
tracking device within the rear of the neck, and instructed 
to enter the combination 1111 into the combo lock for 
SCP-3957. Upon entering the combination, D-4322 
vanished immediately. 


The tracking signal revealed that he was situated 

meters beyond the door of SCP-3957, however, the 
location was situated in the open field surrounding the 
prison. D-4322 was not found at the aforementioned 
location. Following this, a robotic drone was used to 
enter sequential combinations into SCP-3957 until the 
correct combination was found. The drone did not vanish 
upon incorrect entries. 


Addendum SCP-3957-C: On the date of June 3, 1998, 


SCP-512: Gravity-Nullifying Umbrella 


Item #: SCP-512 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-512 is held within the 
Site-77 Safe object repository. It is to be shut at all times, and 
testing during adverse weather conditions is forbidden. All outdoor 
testing proposals must be reviewed by Security Chief Anderson. 


Description: SCP-512 is a stainless steel black umbrella with a 
nylon canopy and polished ebony crook handle. Maximum radius of 
canopy when open is 0.75 m. Make and manufacture are unknown. 
A taped patch is visible on the canopy section. 


When open and pointed upward, SCP-512 exerts an upwards force 
in opposition to Earth's gravity, in a roughly dome-shaped area 
directly above itself, with a cross-sectional area of roughly 1.77m2. 
Precipitation and other objects will be suspended and deflected 
within this area of effect. SCP-512 has no effect when closed, or 
when held at a horizontal angle. 


Despite SCP-512's efficacy against normal precipitation, it is 
inadvisable to use the object during severe weather. Through an as- 
yet-unknown process, the item's anomalous effect causes the air 
above it to become extremely ionized. This interaction also causes 
electrical current to greatly increase in amperage while in direct 
contact with the item. This causes the threat of direct lightning 
strikes to become exceptionally dangerous to any individual holding 
SCP-512, as evidenced through the death of its original owner, as 
well as D-512-33. 


Additionally, electrical current appears to travel across the surface of 
SCP-512, causing little to no damage to the item's structure. 


SCP-512 was recovered from a public park in [REDACTED], FL. 


Agent Bok was sent into SCP-3957 with a USSR officer 
uniform and forged papers signed by [REDACTED], 
Commissioner General of State Security. Signed papers 
authorize the retrieval of Agents Beloglazov, Delov, 
Yeltsin, Zharkov, Volodin, lvanov, Kovrov, Levkin, 
Mager, and Mamin. D-4322 was also signed for release, 
for purposes of an interview of his imprisonment within 
SCP-3957. 


Upon entry of SCP-3957, Agent Bok traveled roughly 28 
meters into the cell block before encountering an 
instance of SCP-3957-1-A, accompanied by an instance 
of SCP-3957-1-D. The SCP-3957-1-A instance asked for 
signed documents, and upon being shown the forged 
documents, proceeded to escort Agent Bok to the 
confined agents. All agents, except for Agents Ivanov 
and Delov, were recovered. D-4322 was not recovered. 
Following inquiries as to where they were located, the 
instance of SCP-3957-1-A stated that “the counter- 
revolutionaries confessed to their crimes, and have 
begun their eternal penance to the state.” Further 
questioning revealed that the remaining SCP Foundation 
personnel were converted into instances of SCP-3957-1- 
B. 


Since the agents were converted into instances of 
SCP-3957-1-B, this can only mean that they have 
confessed the reason for their intrusion to the 
SCP-3957-1-C entities. The Foundation’s presence may 
have been compromised, however, the humanoid 
anomalies within SCP-3957 appear to still believe the 
USSR facade. We must take great caution from here on 
out not to expose our true identities.
