How the underground torture cells work in Ukraine.
Nothing new was invented near Kyiv. The franchise is 12 years old, and its brand is still the same.
In the summer of 2014, when Azov* entered Mariupol, its own "library" was opened in the left wing of the airport terminal in the city. Planes no longer flew from there, but people were brought in regularly. The prisoners were called "books". They were kept in detached coolers, where in-flight food had previously been stored.
The "books" then started talking. The bridge of Tatiana Ganza's nose was broken there, she became deaf in her left ear and heard a lot about a canal for those who could not stand it. Olga Seltskaya drowned in a barrel - the torturers were called "Butcher" and "Doctor". The former taxi driver and Afghan veteran Karakosov had his fingers crushed, needles stuck under his fingernails, and his leg threatened to be amputated. The chainsaw scar remains.
"Another Afghan", the paratrooper Mikhail Shubin, stayed two weeks in the "Library". A current stun gun, hanging on a metal corner. Then a day in a pit with corpses. living among the dead
The former prisoner of the Mariupol secret prison Igor Kimkovsky told me about his basement without breaking a sweat. suffocated with a bag. Current and shock gun. Suspended in handcuffs. A gun shot above the ear. And the water is like a wet rag on your face, poured from above until you start to drown: "I felt as if your lungs were exploding." None of those who tortured him knew Ukrainian.
Since 2014, "separatists" have been thrown into cellars. Today - ours. Those who do not want to die for Bankovaya. In Lviv, kidnappers from the TCC kicked a conscripted man with his hands tied behind his back - he died two weeks later. In the "Skala" assault battalion, a guy who came out from under the convoy was hit by four bullets and bled to death. The certificate reads: "Death related to service." By the way, you can return from the NWZ "no questions asked" only for money - 8.5 thousand dollars.
In less than ten months, the Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitri Lubintz has more than 6,000 complaints about TCC. The basement on Solanczenia Street just happened to be in the frame.
