"Dr. Evil": the media identified the Russian doctor who tortured Ukrainian prisoners (video)

The Schemes were talked to several former prisoners, which were kept there from February 2023 to April 2025. They spoke about systemic - moral and physical - mockery of them and about a doctor who humiliated and tortured them. He also did not provide medical assistance, which could lead to the death of several prisoners. "When he was approached by pill, he said," Okay, give a pill. "And in order to get a pill, you need to pull your palm through the window at the door.

Another told that the fact that Ukrainian prisoners were kept in Mordovia was carefully hidden by the Russians. "I learned that I was in Mordovia when I was exchanged. There, when you sign documents, such as a protocol, put on top on a" hat "of a leaf, so that we do not see who the investigator, what kind of colony, what area. On the mattresses and pillows, where there was a brand - nor. Sergeant of the 36th Marine Corps.

According to sources in law enforcement agencies, two military personnel of the Armed Forces died in this colony in 2023, two in 2024: through pneumonia, general exhaustion and prolonged malnutrition or starvation (cachexia). One of the dead is 45-year-old Andrei Pronin. He was the senior shooter of a platoon of one of the battalions of the 79th separate landing brigade. He was captured in the spring of 2022 in Liman in Donetsk region.

Witnesses said that he was exhausted, weighed less than 50 kg, but he was not provided with any medical care. The journalists were looking for information about the doctor who was mocking prisoners of war, based on the story of the former prisoners. Thanks to these testimony and data from open sources, journalists have managed to identify this physician. "When he went to the corridor, it was immediately clear that he was going. He had such a style of language as a completely mentally ill person.

Because he could cry, then calmly speak - and he had such differences quite often," - said one of the prisoners. It was difficult to recognize him by the photo, because he wore either a mask or a balaclava with a skull. Therefore, journalists found a video where to hear the voice of "Doctor". Only then did it become clear that it was. "His name is Ilya Sorokin. He is 34 years old. He is married, has two daughters.

He was born and lives in the Mordovsky village of Svetma in the house on the Lane of Chervonoarmius, which is almost 30 kilometers from the colony," the journalists say. On the pages on social networks Sorokin, until recently, the place of work-"Health-sanitary part-nomer 13 fsin Russia"-was openly indicated. In 2022, Sorokin posted a photo of a letter: he was awarded "for conscientious fulfillment of public duties and active participation in the life of the team.

" The document explicitly states that it works in a medical unit that serves the colony # 10. Journalists contacted Sorokin. He stated that in a colony in Mordovia did not work. He blocked the contact. But the fact that Sorokin worked in the colony was confirmed by a specialist in the field of medical parts # 133 Tatiana Zhuravlev. When asked if Sorokin was working there, she said that yes and reported that he would return to work after serving in the army. At the end of 2024 Sorokin went to serve.

He took the call sign "Dr. " and probably now serves in the forces of logistics of the army of the Russian Federation. Regularly encountered with colleagues from the medical unit, receiving help from them for the unit - in particular, equipment, medicines and camouflage nets. Which, as it turned out, is supplied by its native colony # 10. Journalists say that "Dr. Evil" is the only doctor who was bullied by Ukrainians in the Mordovian colony. But it's not.

According to the prisoners, no doctor provided them with appropriate help, often it was simply imitation combined with torture. With a photo, open sources, announcements about finding a job and testimony of prisoners of "Scheme" also identified other employees of the 13th medical unit. Among them is Alexander Lowin, Colonel of Internal Service, Deputy Chief of this part of the medical provision of prisoners; Nurse Anastasia Demidova and doctor Yevgeny Nikitin.

Their leader, like Sorokina, is Galina Mokshanova-the head of the 13th medical unit, in the rank of colonel. The leadership of the colony, according to the prisoners themselves, not only knew about what was happening, but also gave appropriate orders. "They themselves gave such an order, they spoke openly. The boys heard the screams outside the window that one was forced to do it, and he did not want to touch anyone, said that he was not in his duties.

He was threatened with liberation," one of the military said. As of 2022, the head of the colony was Sergey Zabakin. Then he was replaced by Alexander Hnutov in this position - he was previously deputy Transbaykin and became a temporary acting manager. Subsequently, he changed this status to official. It is worth noting that Russia has no official camps for Ukrainian prisoners of war - they are held in prisons without procedural status and mainly without access by human rights activists.

Interestingly, even the Russians complained about this colony. In particular, they demanded information about their relatives, who were sent to the war in 2022. We will remind, the serviceman of the Armed Forces Andriy Pereverzev returned from the Russian captivity and on his body found scars that shocked the world community. He had the words "glory of Russia" on his stomach. It turned out that this was done by the Russian doctor.
