Confession

So, would an исповедь take place in a church or in a room beneath Lubynaka?

Исповедь would be in a Church. Confession of crimes is признание.

in church. but it can be used, while talking about "confession of crimes" in a humorous way

"Исповедь" might take place in a room beneath Lubyanka if the text is sarcastic or just metaphorical. But that's not what you'd expect from a normal person in normal circumstances.

Lubyanka is admittedly more efficient in coaxing people into a confession.
