This is Episode 7 of True War Crime — a series of firsthand testimonies from people who survived Russian captivity. Our guest is Tom Dychok, an ethnic Pole who lived and worked in Poland for five years before Russia's full-scale invasion. After being captured, Tom endured relentless physical and psychological abuse. His captors shot him through both palms, tortured him, and tried to break his spirit. Instead, his Catholic faith became stronger. In one of the Russian prisons, Ukrainian prisoners were forced to build coffins for Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine—using wooden crates that had originally carried Grad multiple rocket launcher ammunition. This is one man's story of survival, faith, and the disturbing reality hidden behind the walls of Russia's prison system. These are not stories inspired by real events. These are real events.
