So, the main book of my life - "The Torture Camp on Paradise Street" - is available for purchase at the link below. There is no fictional plot in it: it is a non-fiction book describing the events in the Russian concentration camp "Izolyatsia" in Donetsk.

For President Zelenskyy, General Budanov's appointment as head of the presidential office is undoubtedly a reputational boost after all the recent corruption scandals.
For Budanov himself, I see only downsides – although I'm sure he'll explain everything in detail one day...

The Kremlin now has an urgent need to fan the flames of "popular anger and horror."
Television isn't up to the task.
Yes, it's great at maintaining a level of dullness and insanity, but it's incapable of creating the emotional surge that war and dictatorship now require.

My good friends from GUR urgently need a car.
These guys not only fight, but are also often behind the scenes of many pleasant news stories from Russia.

Victoria, her husband, and her mother-in-law were waiting for the "liberators," as she herself testified to the Russian military police.

Incredible.
Aren't you confused by anything you've said?
For example, that Russia is trying to occupy an independent country? (or is this already the norm in 2025?)
Or that despite Russia not having the strength for a full occupation, that didn't stop it from invading?

It's common knowledge that Putin despises the West, considering it weak.
But is he really so wrong, openly calling Western politicians "pigs", declaring revenge for the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR, which he wants to restore - and hearing endless "negotiations" in response?

Before Russia’s war against Ukraine, “Izolyatsia” was a vibrant cultural space housed in a former factory in Donetsk. Its Cold War-era bunkers, administrative buildings and warehouses became an international hub for contemporary art.

A year ago, as part of a group of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine I visited Syria to report on the most infamous Bashar al-Assad's death camp – Sednaya.
What I saw impressed even me, even though I had the front and Izolyatsia experience.

It's very symbolic: the flag of Russian fascism in the center of Pokrovsk against the backdrop of the destroyed university.
It's as if this is saying: forget what you were once taught, there are no rules, no good and evil, all of this will be wiped off the face of the earth by the "Russian world".
