This is Episode 6 of True War Crime — a series of real stories from people who survived Russian captivity.
Our guest, Yulii Pylypei, spent 2.5 years in Russian prisons.
To survive psychologically, he held on to one simple dream: traveling with his wife once he was free.
Despite being an ordinary soldier defending his country, Yulii says prison guards treated him worse than a convicted child rapist serving a 17-year sentence.
His testimony offers a rare glimpse into some of the darkest corners of Russia's prison system — where brutality, humiliation, and psychological pressure became part of everyday life.
