Alexey Samoilov was abducted by SBU operatives near his home while serving as a university vice-rector and professor of international relations, beaten in front of his neighbors and taken to a secret prison that officially did not exist.

From the very beginning, Aidar consisted of completely deranged thugs," Alexey Samoilov, a former inmate of a secret SBU prison and head of the analytical department of the Other Ukraine movement, told Sputnik.
