They brought me to the torture chamber, put a gas mask
on my head, put me face to the wall,
and then I felt they were putting something on my toes.
They connected electricity. I can't even,
it was a nightmare.
I fell on the ground, shaking all over.
I cannot express what kind of pain it was.
They started yelling at us,
"We'll beat the Ukrainian out of you here."
"You won't come out of here alive."
When they were harassing me, they'd bring me here
and put me here like this.
I was crying and screaming, "Don't touch me."
But [the leader] stripped me and started asking his guys
who would be the first to rape me.
One said, "I won't. I don't like her."
Another one said, "She's too skinny."
I just thought to myself that they were faking it,
that they were scaring me on purpose,
that they weren't actually going to rape me.
But then the leader said, "I like her."
He was mostly interested in oral sex and touching with his hands.
Because I was screaming all the time and he could not get it up
really so he couldn't do it all.
He threw me on the mattress and said, "Wait for me tomorrow."
He locked the barn and left.
He opened the garage where my husband was and started yelling,
"I've raped your wife! We both enjoyed. It all worked out."
I tore this away, fixed it like that, and would look out
of this crack to see my husband.
My husband was screaming a lot.
I could hear that they were beating him heavily.
He had the hat covering his face.
He was barely able to walk, hunched over.
When they ultimately drove me crazy,
I decided I was going to hang myself.
I had a bra, and when I'd tie it here,
there wasn't enough space and I couldn't do it. It didn't work.
Here are the sedatives they'd give me.
They'd come, cut some with scissors, and offer them to me.
This here was my mattress.
What a nightmare.
Here's this jacket I'd roll under my head.
Here's the bucket they'd bring food in.
I was so hungry.
These sharovary pants, I'd also put them on the ground.
They were so huge. And I'd lie down on the floor.
It was too hot and stuffy. I felt short of air.
This is how I lived here for 10 days.
Bastards. Simply beasts.
