Kachimov may still have had control of Lucas's situation even when being interrogated by Darshavin. In 8.4 Darshavin said that it was not his decision to confine Lucas to 4 years of solitary, could this have been Kachimov's idea?

That makes sense. I assume it would have been on Katchimov's orders, as he was the man tasked with turning Lucas - he would have known what to do in order to 'break' him, and as we see in the attempted suicide scene in 8.4... it worked. Seems to me that Katchimov would have been Lucas' only source of intelligent converse or indeed of any information from the 'outside world', so you can understand why he would grow somewhat attached to him.
