Simon Ostrovsky Describes His Kidnapping



I bet dollars the KGB got him released. "Roman" sounds like someone who is a KGB guy who didn't want to see anything bad happen to him (as it would no doubt "sully" the pro-Russia paramilitary revolutionaries).

Likewise, the techniques used to torture him sound like something right out of KGB tactics, the entire time he spent there was a PSYOPS.

Great video, worth the 20 minutes if you want to see what the pro-Russian fascists are really like.

But I do think the googly eyes are better than crazy eyes. All about that asymmetry in the eyeballs.

I guess people are naive enough to continue believing that a) there aren't Russian soldiers in Ukraine b) they are peaceful and c) that they aren't kidnapping people.

Ponomarev and his thugs are nothing but criminals and liars.
