“With Savchenko, like with many other prisoners, we had our own problems, and the main one was that Nadezhda Viktorovna went on a hunger strike, blackmailing the Russian Government,” the head of pre-trial detention center-3, Colonel Alexander Kolganov, told the publication, adding that Savchenko was coddled “like with a child,” persuading her to eat food.
Also, the head of pre-trial detention center-3 says that the food in the detention center is good - the diet includes cottage cheese, butter, milk, fish, and meat.
“When I did my military service in the USSR, then we were fed worse than here,” the colonel claims, noting. that in the end, “Nadezhda arrived at the institution weighing 72 kilograms, and they sent her back with exactly the same parameters.”
The cell in which Nadezhda Savchenko was sitting is empty today.
In addition, Kolganov says that Savchenko “really loved to watch the news on the Rossiya-24 TV channel, discussing what she saw with the authorities of pre-trial detention center-3 afterwards.
At the same time, the colonel emphasizes, “no one specially “processed” her.”
But Alexey Vasik, a veteran of the federal penitentiary service, who continues to work in retirement as a librarian in pre-trial detention center No. 3, explaining Savchenko’s transformation into a supporter of peace, says that many former prisoners of the Novocherkassk prison have taken the true path and repented.
“The young man served eight years here for bank robbery, now I meet him in freedom - he forgot the prison world, started a family, children, opened a safe manufacturing company,” the retired major told the publication.
“It is from such small details that the future fate of the prisoner is formed - whether he will be released angry at the world or will begin to live in a new way. Something similar happened with Nadezhda Savchenko, who, unexpectedly for many Ukrainian politicians, began to treat other people and their problems with understanding and compassion,” AiF summarizes.
