History teacher Taras Bukreiev is one of the active citizens who did not leave Kherson during the occupation and joined the resistance movement. The lives of people like Taras became the plot of a spy novel. But in the end, for his entire group, resistance to the occupiers resulted in torture and imprisonment in a temporary detention center seized by the Russians.
Four other residents of Kherson - a doctor and three women of different professions - did not actively resist the Russians, but they did not cooperate either. They were imprisoned on trumped-up charges in the same detention center as Taras. The women and the doctor told the journalists about the torture and the regime established by the guards. And the journalists started their investigation to name the people who have subjected the illegally detained civilians to physical and psychological torture without any intention to get valuable information for the investigation.
The investigators will show the faces of the Russian Patrol Service officers they have identified and tell the details of their lives that they have found out.
