Honestly, one of the more bizarre crimes I’ve read about this year. Dismemberment, failed body disposal because of intoxication which ended up with him in the river instead of just his victim, and his plans to commit suicide...while dressed as Napoleon. At least he confessed.
On November 21, a video appeared on the Internet showing Sokolov with police officers and other unknown individuals in the historian's apartment. In the video, Sokolov is shown trying to get something from a cabinet and police officers preventing him from doing so.
A police officer later asks other officers if they checked Sokolov's body and says to the historian: "I hope you won't repeat doing what you tried to do now."
