Trojan. The Gulag of Our Time

This book is a chronicle of an unprecedented exposure of torture, tacitly sanctioned in the prisons of Russia. An ordinary guy from Belarus, Sergey Savelyev, ended up in a Russian prison on a fabricated drug charge and initially experienced the bloody hell of "re-education." Later, drawn to work as an administrator in the prison hospital, he gained access to a massive video archive stored in the FSIN system. In these recordings, with the knowledge of the authorities, people were beaten and raped...

Savelyev managed not only to bring copies of the archive out to freedom and publish them under the pseudonym "Trojan." He also escaped the revenge of several Russian agencies. But he remained who he was—a person who cannot indifferently witness cruelty.
