In the occupied Kherson region, the invaders are holding about half a thousand people in basements, and there is information about torture. The occupiers have lists of activists and participants in the ATO: they come to their homes and kidnap them, according to TSN .

Veteran of ATO Nazar Kagalnyak died from torture by rashists, he was kidnapped and tortured. The cyborg Andrey Kuznetsov is also dead. The military man survived in the ATO in the 14th, but eight years later he was killed by rashists in his native Kakhovka. Until now, the fate of his countryman, also a resident of Kakhovka, Sergei Tsigipi, a journalist, activist and ATO veteran, has been in captivity for the second month. True, he is shown on Russian television from time to time – according to the rashists, he seems to be an officer in the command of special operations forces. Another journalist, Oleg Baturin, barely survived a week of torture; he managed to free himself from captivity and leave his native Kakhovka.

The village head of the famous Chernobyev community, Igor Dudar, after the capture of the village council, was taken by Russian orcs for interrogation and tortured. Now he is in the hospital in serious condition, under the arrest of the invaders. Nothing is known about the fate of his detained deputy Yevgeny Rodionov.

And the former mayor of Kherson, Vladimir Nikolaenko, was detained a few weeks ago and made the main character in Russian propaganda plots. In one of them, Nikolaenko shows his weapon and says that he was in the terrorist defense.

In other videos, a Russian journalist asks Nikolaenko for a local terrorist defense guard. And then again and again he asks about the famous Ukrainian politician Roman Shukhevych. He wants to hear that he is no hero for Ukraine. Vladimir Nikolaevenko, no matter how the propagandist presses, stands his ground.

And the same Russian journalist is recording an interview with Andrey Putilov, the former head of the Kherson state administration. He disappeared a few weeks ago and has only now appeared on propaganda channels. A haggard man is asked about Maidan and Crimea. It is not shown close up.

At the same time, someone is broadcasting a video of him from the website of the detained local businessman and volunteer Igor Kurayan. The half-dead Kurayan calls to submit to the new government and lay down their arms, because the Kherson region seems to have been surrendered. But Kherson residents notice – a man with signs of torture, can hardly stand on his feet and can barely speak. After nearly a month of torture, he was released. What they did with him and what they demanded is still unknown.

The Kherson priest Igor Chudinovich was also kidnapped by the occupiers, but later he was released and only in a safe place on the unoccupied territory did his father tell how they mocked him – thus they forced him to cooperate. “I stood partly undressed for a very long time, with my hands tied behind my back, I had a hat tied with a sheleg on my head,” says the priest.

The fate of the Spanish volunteer Mario, who was detained after a rally in Kherson a month ago, is still unknown. Also, people who did not fight and did not volunteer are disappearing – their relatives are looking for them in social networks.

And this is not the whole list of people whom the Russians torture and hold in the basements of abandoned state institutions.
