A mutilated and traumatized Ukrainian soldier named Serhiy was able to return home after being captured by the Russian army.
According to Dr. Olexandr Turkevich, who treated the soldier, told him how the Russian military threatened to cut him into pieces.
“I want your children to know that you are a fascist. “That's why I'm cutting you so deeply,” a Russian soldier reportedly told Serhiy, who was blindfolded, as the man carved a swastika into the upper part of his face.

Since the start of the invasion, Russian President Vladimir Putin has insisted that his country is trying to “denazify” Ukraine.
Photos of the swastikas etched into the foreheads of two soldiers “show what kind of creatures our men face at the front,” Dr. Turkevich.
According to the latter, the swastika engraved with a knife is “direct evidence” of the genocide committed by the Russians.

The doctor says he is extremely proud that he managed to remove the swastika engraved on soldier Serhiy's forehead.
The two soldiers listed who suffered this fate at the hands of the Russians were treated with lasers to remove as many scars as possible.
In his 2009 film “Commando of the Bastards,” director Quentin Tarantino depicted an American secret squad that tracked down and killed Nazi commandos. The character of Lieutenant Aldo Raine, played by Brad Pitt, is seen twice carving a swastika into the forehead of a German soldier.
