Napoleon's invasion

During a week in Sokolov, details appeared - either invented, or those who make him even worse

Details of the biography of the Associate Professor Sokolov, who admitted the murder of a young girlfriend, began to swim when the court arrested the accused. It is very difficult to find out how reliable it is: we are talking about very long -standing affairs, for which Sokolov seemed to be never punished.

From the Moika River in St. Petersburg, we recall, a 63-year-old man was saved, and with him they caught a bag of female hands. The world-famous napoleonist historian, cavalier of the French Order of the Legion of Honor and the founder of military reconstruction in Russia-Associate Professor of St. Petersburg State University Oleg Sokolov turned out to be drowned. Famous in his circle under the nickname Sire, because he considered himself Napoleon's reincarnation. He found a saw and parts of the female body at home. He testified how he killed the 24-year-old graduate student Anastasia Yshchenko, kept her body in the apartment for a day, then he began to get rid of the corpse in parts, but his sleep fell into the water. So this story looked in court when Sokolov was arrested. During the week, details appeared in it - either invented, or those who do all this even worse.

To the court, where Sokolov was appointed a preventive measure, so many television cameras were filled that the corridor became like a subway at a peak hour. Journalists have fun discussing the maniac, whom they will now show them. Three were seriously preparing to sing “Marseilles” when Napoleon would be passed by.

The convoy brought not a maniac or Napoleon. The stairs, sniffing heavily, walked a very middle -aged and completely crushed person.

In one night, he crossed out two lives at once - a young, beautiful and talented woman and his own, before that very successful.

Under his red eyes, his bags swelled, like people with patients with kidneys or heavily drinking. Then the journalists will have to attribute to him an eagle Napoleonic look, and call a shabby sweater blood-red, otherwise the image of the maniac completely fell apart. In the courtroom, the associate professor was indifferently sitting in the Aquarium, while the photo and the television cameras fought for the right to shoot him more poial. When the judge reminded of events on Friday night, a man in the Aquarium wrapped his arms around his bald head and groaned. Smartphones climbed up in the hall.

Meanwhile, in the Perm Territory, a man killed with particular cruelty, and then burned his wife and three -year -old son. In Khakassia, the investigation of the case against the 37-year-old barn, who had scored a child, ended. In Moscow, the investigation began in the case in which the son prepared a contract murder of his mother. The case was referred to the court against a man who threw the roommate from the 4th floor of the grandson ... Over the past week, the Investigative Committee reported many cases that could also be discussed. But only the historian was discussed.

Sokolov’s case suddenly brought federal television channels and liberal social networks so that they can now be confused. The assistant professor, although methyl in the Napoleons, was a great patriot - in the current understanding of the word. He expressed devotion to the president. He carried the French to the Crimea. He was in the Scientific Council of the Russian Military Historical Society (RVIO) of the Minister of Medinsky. And suddenly, during the popular talk show, the host decided to reproach Rvio Sokolov-Napoleon. But the social networks, who had experienced for each disenfranchised seat yesterday, talked about why Sokolov allowed Sokolov to ask glasses in the cell.

Sokolov’s associates created a petition in his defense: “We will support the great associate professor of St. Petersburg State University Sir Oleg Sokolov.” But the petitions in defense are not the genre where the military patriots are strong.

Therefore, the technology was taken from ideological opponents and issued a tag: "I/we are Sokolov." Not very, apparently, understanding the context.

Meanwhile, details began to arise in the press from the past life of the historian. About how 10 years ago the student was already trying to blame Sokolov of beatings, but the statement gone in the police, “new” already wrote. The last news of 40 years ago was told by the Land24 (Leningrad region) architect Irina Fedorova: in the past, the associate professor was already a criminal record.

Recidivist

In the Soviet years, the spouse of Fedorova Rudolf Zagogin created the youth naval military-historical club Petrovsky. Teenagers made copies of old ships. In this club, Fedorova tells, Oleg Sokolov came as a student, then he worked there. In 1981, the film "Russia Young" was shot in St. Petersburg. The ships asked the club, and Sokolov undertook to bring the frigate to the place of filming.

A storm broke out, the ship began to sink, and the historian saved his skin, he did not even help the women who fell into the water. Because of him, Fedorov insists, then biologist Vladimir Sorokin died.

For this, Sokolova was judged, the woman claims, but the deadline was appointed conditional.

However, in court, as the suppression, it was clearly said: before Sokolov was not prosecuted. The sources of "New" also did not find information about his criminal record.

In the 1980s, Mikhail Vorobyov worked with the "Petrovsky" club (preparing horses for filming). And he in a conversation with the "New" confirmed that the story of the sunk frigate really was in 1981. The squadron that went to the shooting consisted, according to him, of two ships. Sokolov commanded by one frigate, the second - Zogin. The ships of adolescents, according to Mikhail, were unreliable, artlessly converted from fishing. In August 1980, in the radio transmission, the Monitor himself and Sokolov himself said: “We often have to fill up abrasions, get corns in our hands - no one is afraid of this. We do everything. Each of us should be a sailor, a carpenter, and anyone. Ships have acquired a normal view recently. ”

On that path, homemade frigates went, despite the storm warning.

“I escorted them, said they risk it,” says Mikhail. - Then he found out that he was smiling.

Who is actually responsible for the emergency - this, Mikhail believes, is a big question. Sokolov in those years worked as an instructor in the Petrograd district committee of the Komsomol, and in the club he was listed as a political officer. Zjogin led both the construction of ships, and the whole club, and in that swimming he was for the admiral. In any case, there is no reliable information about the Komsomol leader and the future Napoleonist to be punished for the tragedy.

The new facts from the biography of Sokolov, as if not punished for misconduct, raised a new wave of anxiety: all sorts of high -ranking friends again dismiss him.

Patrons

The trouble of this Napoleon is that he doesn’t have high -ranking friends. The military-historical society quickly rubbed his surname from the site. SPbSU, without waiting for the court, announced that the assistant professor was dismissed for the immoral. The institute in Lyon, where Sokolov gave lectures did the same.

In 2006, it was believed that he was patronized by Viktor Baturin, a businessman and relative of the ex-mayor of Moscow. Together they established the all-Russian military-historical social movement (OVIOD). Then Baturin himself began a criminal problem - and he cooled to Sokolov with his movement.

In 2007, Oviode applied for a tender for the annual festival of reconstructors in the Borodino field. The Ministry of Culture (then without Medinsky) played 2.5 million rubles. Sokolov called his price - 100 rubles. And he promised that the rest of the money would not take from the state, but would find from the sponsors. He passionately longed to win the competition and spend Borodin's Day. The Ministry of Culture in the contractors chose the Borodino Field Museum-Reserve. And he even invited Emperor Sokolov, but an American actor to the role of Napoleon.

The historian became furious. He brought 300 kilos of gunpowder to Borodino and arranged a finger "from the layouts of guns in the evening and at night." This is a quote from a statement to the prosecutor’s office, which was written by the President of the International Military Association Alexander Valkovich. With the beginning of the festival, Sokolov took possession of the microphone and “openly called on military-historical clubs for disobedience to the organizers.”

And after that, wearing the Napoleonic uniform, he arranged a fight on the Borodino field. After September 2007, he was generally stopped calling in Borodino even as a spectator.

In 2012, Vladimir Medinsky became the Minister of Culture. In September, Sokolov was again invited to the festival with his reconstructors. But only as ordinary participants. Six times, Oviode applied applications for participation in the tenders of the Ministry of Culture - and did not won one.

Sokolov’s associates according to Oviod say that not only he, but also Vladimir Churov stood at the source of movement. The former head of the CEC is now listed as the chairman of the very scientific council of the military-historical society, where Sokolov entered last week. But this did not stop military-historians instantly disowned his colleague and get even his name from the site.

Big scientist

Sokolov’s colleagues include him in a dozen leading Napoleonists of the world. But what is strange: at 63, with such merits and awards, he has only a degree of candidate of sciences and the position of assistant professor. And this is a person who, even in court, answering the question of the prosecutor, announced that he has more than 100 scientific works published in different languages ​​in different countries. He did not chase at all at all?

In February 2018, Sokolova played the pranker. He played surprisingly cheaply: a young voice with a Ukrainian dialect reported that he was an employee of the President of Putin. He wants to attract a historian to proxies before the elections. Only at first he must answer how much he loves Vladimir Vladimirovich. Audio recordings of conversations are walking on the network.

“Could you somehow voice your attitude towards the president?” - asks the "Administration".

- Well, a positive attitude exclusively! - the assistant professor answers.

- Yes. What is your relationship in the Crimea?

- That's right, I support!

- We need new names that would not be blurred by the townsfolk, but appear on the screen and could express all that love for Vladimir Vladimirovich.

- Certainly! Naturally!

And in the last conversation, an elderly scientist suddenly begins to ask for the “presidential administration” so that she contributes to his career growth: the defense of the doctor and obtaining the position of the professor.

“You see, if I had a doctoral degree, my speech would be much more weighty,” he persuades Pranker. -Well, doctor-professor-or associate professor? ..

“I will discuss this issue with the leadership,” the pranker promises.

Familiar Oleg Sokolov call him a mentally unbalanced person. They even give medical diagnoses. But he has very few chances to prove his innocence through a certificate from a psychiatrist. According to the "New", in the late 1990s-early 2000s, he received a license for rifled weapons. So, he provided a certificate that he does not suffer from mental illness and is not registered.

In a dream

Television talk shows pulled out a neighbor of Sokolov, who, as if at night from November 7 to 8, sat in her apartment on a chair and quite accidentally heard everything that was happening behind the thick wall of the pre-revolutionary house. Until the remarks of a woman who asked for mercy. What she did not hear is four shots. He says she fell asleep.

In court, Sokolov cried, said that he was repenting, that he did not understand how this could happen, fell on the girl-she suddenly turned into an “aggressive monster” ... The judge went beyond the Code of Criminal Procedure and quietly asked: “Is there some reason?” Indeed: there was some reason why a successful, prosperous, wealthy person with two higher education and a degree suddenly took and killed a woman whom he "loved very much."

“I don't understand how it all happened!” He repeated through sobs. -I have never seen this in my life-such a stream of aggression ... an attack with a knife ... This is something unimaginable ... And I ... I ... do not understand how this could be. Unimaginably ...

There were no attacks with a knife in previous testimonies. Sokolov was already talking. Otherwise, everything was supposed to fit into the picture of the affect.

Affect, which lasts more than a day, allows a person to go to the store for bags, cut his favorite saw and throw bags with the remains into the river.

The St. Petersburg Fontanka, referring to the conclusion of experts, claims that X -ray discovered four bullets in the woman’s head. And they shot it, quoted the publication of doctors when she slept. This is unlikely to fit into the version of affect.

In the textbooks of psychiatry there is the concept of “pathological intoxication”. It also occurs from a small dose of alcohol, characterized by a “suddenly advancing change in consciousness of the type of twilight disorder, which is qualitatively different from stunning with simple intoxication” (“psychiatry”, a manual for medical universities, ed. Zharikov, 1989, p. 348). “The socially dangerous actions committed in a state of intoxication are not a reaction to any real events. They are based on painful impulses, motives, ideas. ” In this state, people "are able to make dexterous and complex movements aimed at implementing painful aggressive actions." They can even drive transport. “The pathological intoxication ends suddenly, as it begins, sometimes goes into a dream. The patient does not remember the entire period of pathological intoxication. ” If psychiatrists decide what exactly this happened with the Associate Professor Sokolov, he can go for treatment, and not to the zone.
