He was regularly beaten by guards and had stun guns used on his legs, nearly leaving him paralyzed.
Even after his release from the Gulag, he was so traumatized that he barely responded to his mother, Dr. Milana Kompaniiets, when he was finally reunited with her after more than a year. then two years in Russian hands.
Footage shows the couple embracing as Hulchuk’s mother tells him: ‘We love you, we really love you. Without you, we would have no life. You are our sun, our joy, our pride, our love.’ But Hulchuk, sadly, did not respond due to the torture he was enduring.

Kompaniiets spent two years searching for evidence that her linguist son was still alive after he disappeared in the collapse of the Illich steel plant in Mariupol in April 2022.
Eventually she found a photo of prisoners of war in Russia in which she recognized his changed face.
Then she heard from the prisoners she had exchanged that he was still alive, but she also heard about the horrific torture he had endured.
She personally met with people released through exchanges with Russia, eventually meeting a Ukrainian National Guard soldier who had shared a cell with her son in a harsh penal colony in Moldova.
“We talked for hours every day. I learned things that I shouldn’t have known as a mother,” she said.
According to the Media Initiative for Human Rights in Ukraine, her son was beaten so often that he could no longer speak.
“I think he had a stroke from the abuse,” she said. “My son was fluent in English, Chinese and Polish and very talkative, and after all that, not being able to talk…”
Kompaniiet put her head in her hands. ‘They used electric shocks on his genitals and his legs were paralyzed. When I found out, all I could do was cry and scream.’
She said, “I never understood why Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union the ‘evil empire.’ Now we all understand.

Her son (right) had urged her to leave college and join the 36th Marine Brigade against her will, she said.
‘In Russia they take the animal out of the man. They want to exterminate all of humanity.’
Her son had urged her against her wishes to leave college and join the 36th Marine Brigade, she said.
When she saw his photo, he was “a complete stranger to me,” after the horrors he had endured.
Her cellmate confirmed that her son was the target of brutal torture.
“The boys tried to talk to him, but he couldn’t get a word out,” she said.
“I don’t know if his speech center is affected or if there’s something wrong with the muscles of his mouth or throat.”
He was eventually traded on September 14, “but the abuse left him unable to use his legs and unable to speak or express emotion,” a report said.
‘Yury doesn’t respond to his mother.’
When he was first released, he couldn’t speak, but he was able to type on his smartphone during a phone call with his mother and say, “Mom is as beautiful as ever.”
He said his father “still had the same gray hair as before.”
Before the war he spoke three foreign languages fluently and trained as a Chinese translator.
