I always had the impression he was alone for the full 8 years. In 7.2 he tells Harry that Kachimov was his only company (Oleg is probably one of those he didn't concider "company"), and that he spent 8 years getting to know the man. No mention of ever having cell mates. But, exactly WHO did those dratted tattoos on him? Were Oleg or smoke-lady artistically inclined?

Yeah, I was going to ask about the Kachimov thing. He claims he only had Kachimov for company in 7.2, but then goes on to say him and Dasharvin became quite 'close' in 8.4? Is this just a bit of a mistake on the writers part, or was Lucas lying when he said Kachimov was his only company?

I'm assuming he wasn't always in solitary, because I'm assuming they would try different methods in order to 'break' him. Then again, the prison he was held at was supposedly a specialist interrogation camp, so it's unclear as to why tattooing would be popular in there, as I would assume the place would be for captured spies and whistleblowers, primarily. At any rate, I don't suppose it'll ever be explained to us now
