Sergei Savelyev. Trojan: The Gulag of Our Time

This book chronicles an unprecedented revelation of torture, tacitly legalized in Russian prisons. An ordinary man from Belarus, Sergei Savelyev, was imprisoned in Russia on trumped-up drug charges and initially experienced the bloody hell of "re-education." Later, recruited to work as an administrator in a prison hospital, he gained access to a massive video archive stored in the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) system. These recordings showed people being beaten and raped with the knowledge of their superiors.

Savelyev managed not only to liberate copies of the archive and publish them under the pseudonym "Trojan." Not only did he escape the vengeance of several Russian agencies. He also managed to remain who he was—a man who cannot stand idly by in the face of cruelty.
