[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=4) I say, "And where were they?" They were right nearby.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=8) And first they beat a group of people there, and then another group set them on these already beaten people, putting them in pairs.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=17) It also seems to me that this is some absolutely sick story.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=22) A few days later, a person put a bullet in their head.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=26) Oh, sorry, a bullet in the head is another case, that's a different one.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=30) That's what Sasha Semenov was saying. And hanged themselves? Hanged themselves.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=34) In general, from what I've read, this is all some kind of social torture.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=40) And just as you say, somewhere, I don't know if one can say so, deriving pleasure from this process, because this is no longer punishment.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=47) This crosses some… If there is a limit to punishment, then this wrapping in duct tape and this kind of beating crosses it.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=56) At some point, while writing this article and wading through all this darkness, I just started talking to my witness.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=65) "Please tell me something good about Skelya."

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=67) "Surely there must be something good there."

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=70) Indeed, there was testimony that there are great commanders there, who can still go to the front line for their men and pull out, evacuate the wounded.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=78) And I had testimony from a person who was both at the basic military training and in combat, and they say, "There are a few battalion commanders there who I would follow to the front line today."

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=89) People who stand up for their own, who might scold you in front of others, but in reality, they will always protect and support you.

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=98) There are such people. But there is also a lot of violence.

[1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=104) Finally, I will ask, were you not afraid of being accused of slinging mud at a regiment that is performing the hardest task on the front line, allegedly smearing heroic soldiers?

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gSt2gnbUuXkO/en/military-violence-accounts-of-beatings-and-commanders?t=115) But obviously, this PsyOp narrative will be spun, that's obvious.
