48: Oleg Sokolov
Welcome back for another week of horror! Anastasia's going to be glad she's sitting this one out while she moves...Loren's guest feature is Rory- back again for another story that will horrify and enthrall. This week's feature? Oleg Sokolov, the Russian Napoleonic historian, re-enactor, Docent of History, and (now being withdrawn) recipient of The Legion of Honor (Chevalier)...and convicted murderer of Anastasia Yeshchenko.
In November 2019, Oleg was found in the Moyka River in St Petersburg with a backpack containing a pair of human arms and a weapon. Oleg claims he was going to get rid of the body before publicly committing suicide dressed as Napoleon. Join us this week for the full details of this strange case!
