The 'punishment' happened in the town of Communar, Donetsk Oblast, in southern Ukraine, which is currently occupied by pro-Russian rebels.
A shocking video of the man being tortured has gone viral on the internet.
It shows the man begging for his life and tied with red tape to a wooden post as he is repeatedly whipped with electrical cables.
His back is heavily bruised and bloody, which suggests he had whipped for a very long time before the video was taken.
The whipping was carried out by a militant identified as 'Olkhon' who came to Communar from the central Russian city of Novosibirsk to support Ukrainian pro-Russian rebels.
A voice in the background of the video says: 'The f****** film shooting has started. This is the punishment of a drug dealer.'
The man who is begging for his life is heard saying: 'Stop please! I'll say what you need. I will call another drug dealer and he will arrive with drugs.'
He is then asked if he is admitting he is a drug user, and he cries out 'no'.
But then they demand to know why he has a drug dealer's phone number and the beating continues.
The person who shot the video then speaks, saying: 'We don't need courts, sentences, this is what we need.'
The man being tortured then shouts: 'I swear I told everything. God I can't stand it anymore, I want to live. Please, please!'
The tortured man is reportedly missing and is now believed to be dead.
The video was posted online by an official community of pro-Russian rebels on the Russian social network VKontakte.
