Elizabethan torture gradually diminished due to changing societal attitudes towards justice and human rights, particularly influenced by the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and individual dignity. By the late 17th century, there was a growing recognition of the inhumanity of torture, leading to legal reforms that sought to limit or abolish its use in the judicial system. Additionally, the rise of more effective and humane methods of interrogation contributed to the decline of torture practices. Overall, a combination of moral, legal, and philosophical shifts ultimately led to the end of torture in England.

How can Russia play its role in preventing torture in countries that are signatories to international conventions condemning torture of all kinds?

Russia has consistently demonstrated that they are not really interested in opposing torture both domestically and internationally, so the first major action that Russia would have to take would be to reverse its current government policies on torture and end all domestic acts of torture. The next step would be to exert economic leverage to compel its allies to follow suit.
