Napoleon professor confesses to chopping up lover in Russia after woman's arms found in backpack

[Disir]

A prominent Saint Petersburg-based Napoleon expert has confessed to murdering his young lover and former student and dismembering her body in a grisly crime that sent shock waves across Russia.

Oleg Sokolov, a 63-year-old history lecturer who received France's Legion d'Honneur in 2003, was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of murder after he was hauled out of the icy Moika River with a backpack containing a woman's arms.

"He has admitted his guilt," Sokolov's lawyer Alexander Pochuev told AFP, adding he regretted what he had done and was now cooperating.

Yes, indeed, it is.

Did you know Napoleon wasn't really short? It was anti-Napoleon propaganda. The guy was average height--maybe 5'7" or so.

No, I didn't know. Well, 5'7" is kind of on the short side.

Also, don't get the fascination with his penis.

Average height of males at the time was five foot six. There is a lot of anti Napoleon propaganda in the English-speaking world. He also never said England was a nation of shopkeepers. He was going for the Monopoly capitalist kind of thing....
