In Russia’s FSB intelligence service facility in Vovchansk, prisoners could buy their freedom—while penniless Sri Lankan students were kept in bondageByVOVCHANSK, Ukraine—The Russian interrogators left behind some tools of their trade at the sprawling machine-parts plant in this recently liberated city a few miles from the Russian border.
In a building that served as a detention camp, there are two rubber truncheons that former inmates say were used to beat them on the back. There is a wooden pole that was used to hit them on the calves. And there is a high-voltage panel, decorated with the Z and the V markings of the Russian invasion, which delivered electric shocks to detainees. Replicas of Soviet World War II-era posters still hang above it.
