На жаль, я слухала судові засідання по цій справі і, зокрема, покази друзів соколова. Те, як вони захищали вбивцю і виправдовували вбивство людини, просто за межею людського розуміння. Більш того, студенти, які вчились з Анастасією, вважали, що отакий зв’язок з старим огидним доцентом - це нормально. Чутки про соколова і те, як він чіпляється до неповнолітніх студенток, там ходили. І можливо, якщо б знайшлись люди в житті Анастасії, які просто поговорили з нею ще на початку її згубних «стосунків» з соколовим, можливо, зараз ця молода гарна талановита жінка плідно десь працювала, насолоджувалась своєю молодістю і життям.

i'm sadly from russia. cases like this perfectly demonstrate how police work here and how defenseless students are, compared to rich "big shots". I study at a film university and the only time professor was actually fired for harassment was ... because the harasser and the victim were of the same gender ... yes ..... it's that bad. although before that there WERE cases of harassment of young women by men, all of it was hushed up and victims were shamed and\or called "problematic". and if someone ever try to sue their harasser, he takes his "honored artist\director\actor\engineer of ussr" title, money, "connections" and as a result victim gets tons of victim blaming or exclusion from uni and so on. thank you for covering cases from russia, because here any blogger who speaks out negatively about the situation can easily get arrested and\or go to jail

[@jeanbeans7926]

[@marcusaureliusantoninus2597]

Yeah, more Russian self-hate. If you claim you are “sadly” from Russia, do you even deserve to call yourself a Russian? If you haven’t noticed the case is not about harassment per se, but about a sadistic murderer. Their relationship was all but forced. As you can see in the photos, she was happy with it while it hadn’t yet taken a darker turn.

[@habun_ii]

my supervisor for my dissertation who was my professor throughout my degree helped me a lot to get through the final year because of how badly I dealt with the pressure and the strain of finishing everything in 2021 that was still impacted by the virus. i still talk to him sometimes on LinkedIn and I do want to eventually meet him again for a talk about our everyday lives and when i think about his help, it bring me to tears of happiness because of his kindness and when i thank him for it, he would always say it's my pleasure and it was my own hard work. so seeing professor like Oleg is such a shame because not only does he instill the fear for future students meeting monsters like him but creates a massive negative shadow for other male professors. nevertheless, he is a demon for putting such an innocent young woman through hell and ending her life. rip to anastasia.

[@graymonk5972]

so life sentences are usually for: - murder of 2+ people (aggravated murder) - murder with “severe cruelty” (id argue this case qualifies but he was a rich man. money has *a lot* of power in russia) - sexual assault of a minor if the perpetrator already had a conviction of SA of a minor - sexual intercourse with a minor under age 16 if the perpetrator already had a conviction of a sexual crime against a minor - terrorism with nuclear/radioactive materials - hostage taking that resulted in an intended death - organizing a criminal organization (this is for the person at the top of the hierarchy like a mob boss) - production/selling of illegal drugs, usually if it’s in high amount - trafficking illegal drugs, usually if it’s in high amount - “infringement on life” on a government official to stop their political activity or for the purpose of revenge - sabotage resulting in intended death - infringement on life of a person who executed justice/law enforcement official - and genocide so yeah, really varied. it’s wild that drugs charges can result in a life sentence but not this heinous crime

His sentencing is disgusting! he should suffer the same fate as Anastasia 😢, instead he's essentially been given a pat on the back, it makes me sick

[@erinn2101]

This makes me so upset. Domestic violence is basically decriminalized in Russia. The tolerance for abuse against women has increased over time, backed by legislation. Tens of thousands of Russian women are murdered by romantic partners each year. Disgusting that the first accusations of domestic violence were just ignored.

[@tempsdelegance5770]

Hi, thanks for this video. I just want to add some facts from France (where he was often invited), and from the reenactment side : he was well known for beating horses and chasing very young reenactors women (not seducing, chasing). When all of this happened then a lot of people talked : his misbehaviours were WELL know by almost all his napoleon reenactors friends, but "you know he had great costumes ! We could not ban him !". The whole reenactment sphere is guilty : if one day someone said "stop" then this young woman might still be alive.

[@janeaparis]

Usually, others must ignore and allow, for true injustices to fly high.

[@xTapirmaedchen]

The problem is that you get cancelled by the big people in the reenactment scene when you try to say something. And then you cannot warn the newer reenacters... There is at least one very well known Napoleon-reenactor who is also going after young women and nobody can say a word because he is friends with all the big people..

[@jeanbeans7926]

Exactly. It's got to be voiced, loud and clear, that this abuse will not be tolerated by any civil society anymore. Say her name.

You show your intellect by using this non-word "feminicid". Its not better or worse if a women gets killed. You could make an argument that most killed infants and toddler get killed by their own mother. Yet nobody is so stupid and indoctrinated to call this a " infanticid". There is no epidemic of society tolerating murder of women. When in fact there are a lot of cases in which the woman manipulated another man to kill someone yet the puppet master gets a slap on the whrist while the man gets rightfully a life sentence.

Corruption at its best. Don't be fooled. He likely feels no remorse. It's just an act.

As a native speaker, I can tell you that he didn't even try to act any significant remorse in a proper way. On the published record from the court one can hear straight away from his intonations and word choice, that pronouncing this text in the court for him was just a lame play and a formality to perform in order to decrease his potential sentence. The only person he seemed to be sorry about was himself. And the words, his family, closed friends and lawyers were telling about Anastasia were absolutely infuriating. They portrayed her to be a monster and Oleg to be almost the hero for saving the world from this "terrible woman".
