They pressed my fingers with pliers and offered post of mayor of Kherson. Russian forces' prisoner Igor Kurayan about his stay in captivity 

Igor Kurayan, a volunteer and member of the Kherson Territorial Defense, told on Espreso channel.

"I was tortured for 10 days, I even wanted to leave this life, because it was very difficult to survive. People broke down. This is the Russian People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) of the 20s of the last century. They worked out the mechanisms of torture and were no different from Dzerzhinsky's executioners. They pressed physically and psychologically. They tied people to a chair, and beaten several at once, from different sides. They beat me on the back of the head with a baton, crushed my fingers with pliers, cut me with scissors, and pressed me in the groin with boots in front. You see, it's just atrocities. There's nothing human about these scum. This is a machine for destroying people," he added.

Igor Kurayan spent a month in the prison of the invaders. He was held in the basement of the Kherson Police Department on Lyuteranska street. There the invaders arranged interrogations. Subsequently, the prisoner was transferred to a prisoner-of-war camp in Sevastopol.
