Putin's ‘psycho' torturer Dr Evil who inflicted electric shocks, beatings and sexual humiliation unmasked by Ukrainians
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PUTIN'S "psychotic" prison torturer known as Dr Evil has been unmasked by those who survived his reign of terror. Under the cover of a white medical coat and a balaclava, Ilya Sorokin became one of the most feared torturers inside Russia's notorious Penal Colony No. 10 in Mordovia. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Ilya Sorokin has been unmasked as Putin's 'psychotic' prison torturer known as Dr Evil Credit: East2West 6 The 34-year-old dad inflicted electric shocks, savage beatings and depraved sexual humiliation on Ukrainian prisoners of war Credit: East2West 6 The sadistic torturer worked at the Russian penal colony No. 10 in Mordovia Credit: East2West The 34-year-old inflicted electric shocks, savage beatings and depraved sexual humiliation on Ukrainian prisoners of war. But thanks to independent journalists, working with with dozens of exchanged Ukrainian POWs, the identity of the so-called doctor has finally been exposed. The heartless dad-of-two was accused of 'pointless sadism' and a grotesque betrayal of medical ethics. One brave survivor said Sorokin's voice was 'manic, screechy… indescribable'. 'He made prisoners bark and crawl like dogs, or crow like roosters,' one said. 'One POW barked especially well and was made to do so constantly.' Former inmate Pavlo Afisov recalled: 'His favourite question for all of us was, 'Who are you?' We had to reply, 'F*****s.'' Torture in a white coat The torture wasn't random — it was systematic. According to a damning new investigation by Schemes and Current Time, corroborated by nearly 50 ex-inmates and amplified by OCCRP, Sorokin singled out prisoners for electric shocks and genital beatings. His horror methods also saw psychological torment that included mock executions and forced singing of Russian anthems. Putin's soldiers killed 'in mass poisoning by laced bottles of WATER' in suspected Ukrainian sabotage operation 'Nearly all,' the report says, 'reported having been tortured and subjected to relentless physical and psychological violence.' Sick prisoners were denied care — one, with a rotting tooth, was refused any treatment. Volodymyr Yukhymenko, a Ukrainian soldier, died from his injuries after enduring pneumonia, multiple fractures and internal bleeding. His cellmate told investigators that Sorokin refused to even examine him. When confronted by journalists, Sorokin — now working as an army medic — tried to feign innocence. 'That can't be true. I don't work there,' he said before abruptly hanging up and blocking the caller. 6 Ukrainian POWs (left to right) Pavlo Afisov, Yulian Pylypey, Oleksandr Kiriienko and Nikita Pikulyk spent months enduring beatings and psychological torment Credit: East2West 6 One survivor said his voice was 'manic, screechy… indescribable' Credit: East2West But damning video evidence, social media trails, and victim testimonies leave little doubt that Sorokin is Dr Evil. He lives in Potma, just 19 miles from the penal colony, where he once posed in military garb, peddled Soviet nostalgia, and performed crude comedy skits. His online posts show unwavering support for Russia's war and a chilling pride in his role. It comes after Russian troops were reportedly killed by poisoned water bottles in a suspected Ukrainian sabotage operation. At least four soldiers were said to have died in excruciating pain after drinking from bottles labelled "Our Water", allegedly supplied to the front line in a humanitarian consignment. Several others are said to be in critical condition in another major blow to Mad Vlad's invasion of Ukraine. The deadly incident, which unfolded in the Panteleimonivka area of Donetsk, has sparked horror and fury across pro-Kremlin military channels. Distressing footage seen by The Sun shows poisoned troops convulsing, moaning in agony, and slipping into unconsciousness as medics scramble to help.

Mum's horror after being ‘punched in neck' by Alton Towers ‘queue jumper' who ‘grabbed son & smashed him against fence'
THEME PARK 'ATTACK' Mum's horror after being 'punched in neck' by Alton Towers 'queue jumper' who 'grabbed son & smashed him against fence' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM was left horrified after she was allegedly "punched in the neck" and her son was "smashed into a fence" by queue jumpers. Emma Rosall, 44, claims she was assaulted as they waited for the Nemesis Reborn ride at Alton Towers on July 2. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A mum was allegedly punched in the queue for Nemesis at Alton Towers Credit: AFP - Getty 3 The scuffle reportedly started when queue jumpers tried to cut in line Credit: Paul Tonge 3 The family were left upset by the lack of security at the park Credit: Alamy The off-duty police officer had taken her son, 13, and 15-year-old daughter to the park for a fun day out at the Stoke-on-Trent theme park. However the family was left shaken by their experience. The altercation kicked off after staff made tannoy announcements warning queue jumpers they were being watched and wouldn't be allowed on rides. Emma said she saw a man behind her with a bottle of water trying to get past, claiming it was for a medical emergency. She didn't buy it, and refused to move aside, causing the man to become allegedly aggressive. Emma was left stunned when he suddenly lashed out, striking her and then grabbing her son. 'Next thing I knew, he punched me in the back of the neck,' Emma said. 'Then he tried to barge me, grabbed my son and smashed him into the fence.' Emma says no security arrived despite, what she says, were threats and intimidating behaviour. She said another man from the same group appeared shortly after, and the two of them remained in the queue beside her family for a frightening 40 minutes after the ordeal. I was the first to ride Alton Towers' newest ride Toxicator - it was a topsy-turvy spinning explosion Emma added: 'I could hear him on the phone to his mates, he described what I was wearing to them." They were reportedly making threatening comments about what they'd do once the mum got off the ride. Staff were informed, but the disbelieved mum says she was simply asked to wait for security to show up. After deciding to leave the line, she filed a report with customer services and was given a reference number. She says no one offered immediate help, and the experience left her son visibly distressed. To add insult to injury, she said Alton Towers later offered her discounted tickets for another visit as a "gesture of goodwill." The off-duty cop slammed the £25 discount offer, turning it down, and said she wouldn't feel safe returning anyway. 'We weren't met with a pleasant experience - just a long drive home in the heat,' she said. 'My son was petrified.' She added that after the money and effort it took to get there, she felt completely let down. Emma believes Alton Towers failed to respond quickly enough and didn't protect guests from aggressive visitors. She says the incident has put her off going back entirely, especially knowing the man walked off without consequence. Emma said she expected better crowd control and support from such a high-profile venue. Staffordshire Police have confirmed they were notified about the July 2 incident and are now looking into it. A police spokesperson said: 'At around 2pm on Wednesday 2 July, a woman and teenage boy were assaulted and then threatened by two men. "They were all in a queue for the Nemesis ride. "The woman was hit in the back, whilst the boy was pushed against a metal fence." The Sun has reached out to Alton Towers for a comment.
