Valentin Polyansky is a Marine and a former prisoner of war. In 2022, he was captured by the Russians at the Illich Plant in Mariupol and spent three years in captivity. During that time, he was transferred four times and held in four penal colonies: Olenivka, Kamyshin, Pakino, and Mordovia. “They beat me so hard my eyes almost popped out,” the sailor says. Before the full-scale invasion, he lived in the Kherson region. Six months ago, after his release from captivity, he moved with his family to Khmelnytskyi. The Marine recounted his experiences during three years of Russian captivity to Natalia Paliantsy, a correspondent for Suspilne Khmelnytskyi.
