The prince was stricken by grief and when he became king he had her exhumed and crowned and ordered all the men who had spoke badly about her and plotted her death to kiss the hand of his wife, who should be his rightful queen.

Bec: Since the nails appear to be close together, wouldn't this be similar to the bed of nails, more entertainment than torture?
Michael Parsons: A bed of nails is still extremely uncomfortable, the downward pressure is distributed along the length of the entire body, and the person only lays there for a brief period of time. Here, your entire body weight is on your butt and thighs. This would be torture.
marianne Eliza: If you're a slim person. Well, at least until they start placing the weights on your lap.

Sian Edwards: These don't necessarily belong to children. It's more likely that they belonged to the Liquidators who went in after the area was evacuated. Don't forget, the Soviet government didn't even tell the people of Prypiat and the surrounding areas about the severity of the incident, and when they did evacuate, the people were encouraged to believe it was for 3 days. Almost no precautions were taken with the safety of the public until then. The gas masks were likely abandoned by the Liquidators when they were released from duty, they could have been using the school as a base of operations. They left most of the equipment behind, from gas masks to clothing to the fire engines and helicopters because they were too radioactive to take from there.
