[Vigilante Ecstasy]

Maybe a little bit off-topic, but I think that Anatoly Moskvina deserves a honorable mention.

He said he drank from puddles, spent nights in haystacks or at abandoned farms and once even slept in a coffin readied for a funeral. He said he was repeatedly questioned by police, who then always let him go.

Just last month, he wrote a piece for a publication on necrology to explain his interest in the dead. He said that when he was 12, he came across a funeral procession whose participants forced him to kiss the face of a dead 11-year-old girl.

"An adult pushed my face down to the waxy forehead of the girl in an embroidered cap, and there was nothing I could do but kiss her as ordered," Moskvin wrote in Nekrolog.

He said he later grew interested in the occult.

Anatoly Moskvina fits into the topic. Quite interesting case. Would there by any chance be possible to get hold of an English translation of the nekrolog you mention -or a scanning from the newspaper/publication?

Still need to pick this up, just had a look and is still available on Amazon for a good price as you say.

What's his Heavenly Bodies book like? Looks interesting, loosely similar subject:
