    A Family Annihilation in Moscow

    A Family Annihilation in Moscow

    On March 23rd 2022, affluent Russian businessman Vasily Melnikov was found dead alongside his family in their upscale Moscow apartment. They’d all been stabbed to death: Vasily, his wife, and their two sons aged 4 and 10 years old. The killings were brutal and tragic. In the crime scene photos one of the murder weapons can be seen. It's a Russian Special Forces combat knife... 

    In this episode we investigate the Melnikov family annihilation. Did Vasily kill his whole family as the Russian police claim, or is something else going on?

Good show. Would love to see some sources for conversation purposes.

Very informative, and consequently creepy. The stories of employee mistreatment seem shocking but believable. I understand that much of the source material is interviews with anonymous employees, but my one complaint is I would like to see a source list so I can talk more convincingly to people who aren’t as aware of Amazon’s issues.

Please. The ads. PLEASE JAKE

There’s gotta be something, like can we turn the ad frequency down by 1%?? Release this on cd? Send you money in an envelope and get a flash drive back??
