5/ "First, they sent us, the refuseniks, to a construction site, and then gave the order to tie us to a tree, not to feed or water us. A contract soldier returned from the hospital and refused to go on a combat mission. Then the officer beat him and ordered him to be tied to a tree. To be released, you had to pay 50-100,000 rubles ($546–$1,100). Sometimes the handcuffs were nailed to the tree so that the person could not even sit down."
