    Famous historian admits murder!



    Those who are more deeply involved in the wars between France and Russia during the Napoleonic era can not avoid the works of the famous Russian historian Oleg Sokolov!

    And just this Oleg Sokolov ...

    ... confessed to killing a former student and then dismembering her. "He has admitted his guilt," said Sokolov's lawyer Alexander Potschuew on Sunday news agency AFP.

    Students described the scholar, who liked to show himself in historical costumes with his now murdered partner, as gifted lecturers, but also as a "freak" and eccentric ...:

    Sokolov had been arrested on Saturday while trying to sink the body parts of the young woman, who was also his partner, in the river Moika in St. Petersburg...:

    Russian media reported that the university professor had fallen drunk into the Moika when he tried to sink the body parts. The police rescued the 63-year-old historian from the ice-cold river and then discovered the arms of a woman in his backpack. In the apartment of the Napoleon expert, the officials found the decapitated corpse of the 24-year-old Sokolov had written several books and a bloodstained saw.

    According to media reports, the professor of the State University of St. Petersburg wanted to take his life after sinking the body parts. Accordingly, he wanted to throw himself disguised as Napoleon of the Peter and Paul fortress.

    Sokolov is the author of several works on Napoleon Bonaparte and has appeared as a history expert in several documentary films. He also taught at the prestigious French Sorbonne and is a member of the French Legion of Honor.

    I can not believe it!

    Of the type I own several books...

    Reality is often stranger than fiction. Dismembering a young mistress is not a very Napoleonic approach to the problem! Putting on a dashing uniform doesn't make the man. I hope he didn't paint figures:D!

    It would appear he was mad enough to do exactly that.

    My oh my!
    And I plead guilty your honor, I have one book written by him and I use oil and the tail hairs from wee little rodents to paint nasty soldiers often made from noxious metals!!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: And if that weren't enough, I'm a baby boomer too, although that's no fault of mine!
