Been down the rabbit hole since coming across this. Found an article that details a lot about the history of the show, the owner and "participant" deaths. An interesting read for anyone who is curious for more info.

Also, from the Telegram it turns out Marcel (guy with the fucked up hand) actually escaped on or around February 22nd this year :
There was an emergency on the stream - the unfortunate cook Marcelo escaped. Chronology of events:
- Marcel prepared a tasteless soup and the participants could not stand it and decided to break his hands
- Oleg, who had long disliked the cook, volunteered to wring his hands
- After breaking his hands, Bubo decided to ride Marcel a little for courage
- After this, Marcel, under the pretext of going to the toilet, runs away from home
- They start looking for the cook, but they can’t find him, Bubo’s clean things have also disappeared
Shortly after on the same date :
Debriefing after Marcel's escape. Artur kicks Oleg out to his native village, because he considers him to blame for this situation. Also a reprimand to the incompetent technician and Crutch for an unlearned verse. We decided to complete the donations and end the stream due to the current situation
On March 24th there was an update :
General Artur Solochenko has tracked down the former baller Marcel and is preparing a special operation to detain him. Trinket asks Artur to remove his rotten teeth.
And on April 4th :
Marcel has been captured and is expected to stream today
Not 100% sure of the accuracy of the translation provided on the video below, however, the words seem to fit the situation.
Crutch was taken to hospital back in January shortly after the brutal flipper video you see on the opening post of this thread. After that video he was also hit over the head numerous times with a ladle as part of another punishment and looked absolutely horrific by the last video you see of him on that day. This was carried out by Oleg who was a former member of the production team who was fired after Marcel escaped (detailed above). I believe his name may actually be Igor and lost in translation although I'm not positive. He was a very evil bastard.
Quote from January 7th :
After today's fins and breaking his head, Kostyl became so ill that he had to be urgently taken to the hospital. At the end of the video, Oleg demands from Kostyl not to write a statement against him, because they are stunt actors and this whole show in general.
The sickening part about that to me is that Crutch potentially got taken to hospital by these guys, was too scared to say anything to the hospital whilst he was there and got released straight back into his captors hands..
There was also an attempt to escape/leave on December 28th last year by a former participant called Baba Vasya.
Quote from Telegram on December 28th :
How Baba Vasya tried to leave the stream, and in the end it seemed to work, but the phone rang and Marcel clearly said “I’m guarding him in the kitchen”
Further updates on December 29th :
Apparently Baba Vasya has not been allowed to go home since yesterday and is being held in the kitchen against his will. Desperate Baba Vasya breaks into the stream and shouts “They’re killing! Help,” but he is quickly dragged out by the scruff of the neck and promptly beaten. Behind the scenes you can hear a fuss and Karina’s words - “Hold the door with a crutch!” Artur calls and gives instructions.
Continuation of the drama with Baba Vasya. There is fuss behind the scenes, Oleg threatens to tie him up and beat him, says that they cannot open the door because only Artur has the keys, and he will arrive soon. Artur calls Marcela and asks about the operational situation.
According to Karina, Baba Vasya is free, with a cache in his hands and a stolen onion as moral compensation
Truly a horrific place to be. Who knows if Baba Vasya was truly allowed to be free and walk out the door, I know I have my doubts after what I have seen/read..
For anyone who goes decides to sift through the clipping Telegram, be warned, the further you go back the worse it seems to get. Many punishments I see from a few months back don't seem to happen much now. Some of them are very tough to watch.
