But who was this man?

Meet Ilya Sorokin. He is 34 years old. He’s married, with two daughters. He was born in the small Mordovian village of Potma, just 30 kilometers from Penal Colony No.10, and still lives there today. Records show he started studying at a local medical school in 2008. According to the research tool Himera-Search, which archives information leaked from Russia’s interior ministry and other databases, Sorokin has been working as a prison doctor since at least 2018, making around 564,000 rubles a year (around $9,000 at the time).

Reporters reached out to Ilya Sorokin to see if he wanted to comment on their findings. The conversation was brief.

Ilya Sorokin: Hello.

Journalist: Hello, Ilya, good afternoon. My name is Olha, I’m a journalist with Radio Liberty. I wanted to ask you: Ukrainian servicemen returning from captivity in Russia, who were held at Penal Colony No. 10, identify you as the person who tortured and beat them.

Ilya Sorokin: That can’t be true. I don’t work there.

Journalist: You don’t work there?

At that point, he hung up. After two more attempts to reach him, he blocked the number.

So... Ilya Sorokin is not just a psychopath and was criminal, he is also a pussy
