I'm always reminded of the Hostel movies, where unsuspecting people were kidnapped in Slovakia and rich people were allowed to hunt and kill them for fun. I think there was truth to that franchise. They just used Slovakia in place of Ukraine.
There have been a number of books and movies done about exactly that premise. We've got two or three versions of The Most Dangerous Game, just for starters, going back to 1932.
After what I've learned about psychopaths in the last few years, I have to think it's not fiction but that such things do happen.
