Margarita, a single mom living in the city of Belgorod with her grown special-needs children, retired from the Army in 2017 after 11 years of service.īut last summer she decided to volunteer as a medic in Ukraine to provide for her family.Īccording to the woman, as soon as she arrived in Nizhniy Novgorod for training, a colonel commanding a tank platoon singled her out and set out to make her his “field wife” - an informal role reserved for female service members who usually cook, clean and pleasure male officers.

“Even when I’m not alone and I’m doing something, I still see before my eyes all that horror,” Margarita said, referring to the brutality and abuse allegedly committed by Vladimir Putin’s officers against their own subordinates. Margarita said the harrowing experiences have left her suffering from constant nightmares and panic attacks. The woman, who calls her Margarita, said in the interview that she has spent the past two months undergoing rehabilitation and is taking antidepressants for the severe trauma she endured in Ukraine. The independent news outlet Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty published an interview Tuesday with a service member who said male officers force women into sex slavery - and those who refuse face horrible mistreatment.
