Lora Palna's Diaries. True Crime Stories of the Most Resonant Murders

Lora Palna's Diaries — one of the most popular Russian-speaking podcasts about serial killers and maniacs. For over two years, journalists Mitya Lebedev and Masha Pogrebnyak have been sharing with each other the most horrific and bloody crimes in Russia... and around the world. During this time, they have studied hundreds of criminal cases, and the podcast has gained over 8 million listens. Fans adore the podcast for its ease of delivery, meticulous presentation of facts, and humor that helps cope with the horrific. The authors explain how people turn into killers, studying everything they can: from psychological profiles of maniacs to historical context. Forensic science and documentary evidence help understand why maniacs are caught for decades, what happens in their heads, and how childhood traumas lead to deviance. This book collects the most terrifying and colorful stories from the early seasons of the podcast. You will learn: — why to pour sulfuric acid into a bathtub; — how difficult it is to approach the country's main singer; — what dying girls' saliva helps with; — what one might do on the orders of... a dog; — what might be hidden in an ordinary garage. Specifically for this edition, the authors of Lora Palna's Diaries have written two new stories that were not in the podcast!
