"Sorry, hiding hands behind my back is a habit, a habit of a slave. Because for almost 3 years... We were abused, beaten, tortured."

"For 3 years, I didn't know what happened to my family, I didn't know anything. They [the Russians] did not allow me to call. [I was] somewhere very far away, somewhere in Bashkiria, in Ufa. They mocked us, tortured us a lot. Some of our guys could not stand it. Some even went crazy."

@Free_Press Russian captivity..

I heard a lot about that during my formative years as a child from my grandparents.

Toned down, of course, but stories about the kind of abuse Russians inflict on their prisoners of war have been part of my upbringing.

I believe this is why Eastern Europe can see what Russia is doing very clearly, while the West does not.

We share a common multi-generational trauma that makes us resistant to their lies.

@gimulnautti Toni, I appreciate your time and feedback, thank you for your comment. - Aure
