Russian Historian Mummified Bodies, Police allege.
Ah, the kind of heart warming tale you just don’t hear enough of any more. Sure the Golden Age of grave desecration was perhaps the pre-Victorian era where cadavers where harvested for medical purposes. The practice, I gather, has largely gone underground, so to speak if this little news bit is any indication.
The guy’s an historian. The lengths that some academics won’t go for research, I tells ya.
