About torture

I readabout the kidnapping of Leonid Razvozzhaev and remembered my torture.

The first time I was hit on the head almost immediately after my arrest. Three faces hit the ears with their palms. They put their heads against the wall: hands behind their heads, legs wider, even wider. Strikes. As a result - an ambulance, a hospital.

They knocked out the necessary information about organizing the action .

Then there were prisons and courts. Nothing good. In Russia, just being in prison is already torture. I remember how the skin rotted.

And, of course, all this time there was talk: confess, repent, go free. But no one repented. We all declared that the truth was ours. Verdict .

Then the stage. I wrote about him in detail for a long time .

In the camp, in quarantine, they beat me for 24 hours. They got tired and replaced each other. Sometimes they threw me out on the steps and I also kind of “rested.” After that I couldn’t go to the toilet for a week.

I’m not even talking about “psychological pressure”. How many threats and promises were made - I can’t remember everything. At some point you get used to not noticing them at all.

So a year and a half passed.

How old was I then? 19 years old. Naive student. He's still a brat, really. But he endured it. Because there was an idea. And when he left, he continued anyway. Because ideas are not knocked out with fists. Because I'm sure I'm right. You won't tolerate this for any amount of money.

The hardest thing about this is not even the physical pain. And the inability to answer. Fight honestly.

I am not writing to raise my “personal rating”. In the end, I am not the most ironclad in this regard - Maxim Gromov is much more ironclad.

Just being involved in the opposition struggle in Russia, you must always be prepared for the fact that you will find yourself against the wall with your hands behind your back.

And that’s why it’s sometimes sad to see how people who have never even spent the night in the department strive to become leaders. Where are the guarantees that they will not “confess” to working for aliens, will not betray all their comrades and will not record on camera an appeal to the people: “Go home”?

Just in case, I’m not talking about Razvozzhaev now. All his circumstances are still unknown. And I’m sure that serious guys worked with him.
