“Three Ukrainian prisoners for a Russian”. Olek and the freedom found on the bridge

ODESSA – “The agreement included three Ukrainian prisoners for each Russian prisoner. The meeting place was the destroyed bridge on the Zaporizhzhya highway. When they called our names, they told us to walk next to each other. We were in 4. On the other side, two unknown Russians came towards us, no one accelerated, no one slowed down, a five-hundred-meter walk to freedom.
