The more I look into it all, the more harrowing it becomes. I think the saddest thing is that much worse things happen to people who are tortured in the 'real world'.

He definitely had all his tattoos in the suicide scene, perhaps suggesting that the suicide attempt came towards the end of his time in Russia. They probably believed at this point they had broken him and he would work for them as a double agent.
