Update - August 2014
This story has been revealed by Spiegel-Online to be an apparent hoax. Olga Wieber is a mathematician who moved from the Ukraine to Germany many years ago and whose picture was stolen from Facebook [1] for this story that was started by Cyberberkut and taken up by Russian propaganda, including television. German magazine Spiegel interviewed Olga Wieber and investigated the story.[2] [3] Her photo in dress of a surgeon was taken in 2012 when she worked for a company that produces medical equipment. The German radio station Deutschlandfunk interviewed her on July 22.[4] The German television channel ARD reported about the case on July 26, 2014.[5]
Following the energetically suppressed scandal of human organ harvesting and trafficking by senior figures in the western backed Kosovo regime of Hashim Thaçi [6] which began to make life difficult in Pristina, the centre of operation for this illicit trade moved to Kiev where willing facilitators and operators were to be found. [7] [8]
During the three month seige of Slavyansk by Kiev junta forces, there were persistent reports of naked corpses being found in shallow graves and showing signs of gross surgical interference. One report spoke of many corpses in a shallow graves north of Andreevka, Donast Oblast, in disused chalk workings 'just North of Mount Karachun [9] [10]. Most reports were in Russian alternative and small press publications but the odd one made it to an English translation [11]. There were also many reports of Ukraine National Guard units executing their own rookie regular army soldiers for being - allegedly - reluctant to conduct operations against civilians.

3 May 2014
03.05.2014 21:18 – SV: “Did you get the last batch alright? We sent it with some delay, how did it fare?”
03.05.2014 21:32 – OW: “A few of the items were wasted, Seryozha! You know the permissible time! One of the customers was left dissatisfied, but is willing to wait for the next ones; don’t delay.”

22.05.2014 21:45 – OW: “Seryozha, I gave you another order, but in the last batch there was a lot of substandard merchandize!!! You are letting me down with this.”
22.05.2014 21:49 – SV: “Olya, you haven’t been here and haven’t see HOW it all happens; and the conditions are getting more and more difficult.”
22.05.2014 21:51 – OW: “You were able to find the right quantity, that’s good of course, but the quality suffers. My people get access to the material too late!!! Clients are waiting here.”
22.05.2014 21:56 – SV: “They’ll wait, don’t worry, who else could they go to? Where else could they find it??? And meahwhile, here there is shooting, shells are exploding, how can I get your people here? Be they my specialists or yours – it is very difficult to ensure their safety, please understand. We are forced move the materials ourselves!”
22.05.2014 22:03 – OW: “Maybe we should go back to the way things were? At least there is access to the with heavy and terminal patients, and the conditions aren’t much worse?”
22.05.2014 22:05 – SV: “On my side, there can be no talk of this, and you were told the same by Nalivaichenko in your last conversation! Too much risk of a leak and too many questions from local staff; I don’t want anything to do with this anymore!”
22.05.2014 22:10 – OW: “Then do it as you did in Alexandrovka!!! Don’t undermine me! Look for more material, so there is better choice.”
22.05.2014 22:13 – SV: “There is enough material; it’s difficult to transport it. Even though Senya (not Yatsenuk, my own) promised to help.”
22.05.2014 22:14 – OW: “The next order will be ready by July; you’ll get in touch with me through the new channel; bye.”
22.05.2014 22:14 – SV: “Bye, good luck to us.”

26.05.2014 17:25 – SV: “Semyon, are you available?”
26.05.2014 17:26 – SS: “Yes, listening.”
26.05.2014 17:29 – SV: “We got problems with the last batch!!! A lot of bad quality material, our customers are dissatisfied! We need to do everything on time! Speed it up, because if you don’t make it in 14 hours from the time of extraction – we only get 30% of the price! And that means you don’t get your equipment, do you understand?”
26.05.2014 17:33 – SS: “I know, Sergey Vladimirovich. We are trying, we have many losses; just in the last go we lost more than 20 guys!”
26.05.2014 17:34 – SV: “Then take others! Don’t you have enough people?”
26.05.2014 17:35 – SS: “There aren’t many left, and I can’t put just anyone on this job.”
26.05.2014 17:40 – SV: “Keep working. The next extraction must be made by instruction, do it right! Otherwise, you don’t just undermine me!”

08.06.2014 12:43 – SV: “Sure, once we get the Israeli one done, we’ll send it right away.”
08.06.2014 12:43 – OW: “Waiting.”
15 June 2014
15.06.2014 21:16 – SV: “Olya, you haven’t gotten in touch in a long time! What’s happening?”
15.06.2014 21:18 – OW: “Everything is fine, except prices are dropping. But we continue working.”
15.06.2014 21:20 – SV: “Did you get the first “advance” portion of the goods?”
15.06.2014 21:21 – OW: “It arrived already. They liked this scheme here; they are ready to pay for speed. I am still confirming the second portion.”
15.06.2014 21:25 – SV: “Just make sure you hurry; there is a big one coming up – we shouldn’t loose the chance!”
15.06.2014 21:26 – OW: “Ok, the meeting is in the evening; I will report immediately.”
16 June 2014
16.06.2014 00:38 – OW: “I took care of everything; in addition to what you sent, we need AGAIN: 8 cor, 28 nep, 13hep, 6 pan, 2 pul.”
16.06.2014 00:41 – SV: “Understood. Good thing you clarified in time – no desire to load up on extras!”
16.06.2014 00:42 – OW: “If there will be an overlimit – no trouble, I think I will the use for it …”
16.06.2014 00:47 – SV: “Alright, we’ll see how many we get. I’m gone, too much to do.”
27 June 2014
27.06.2014 21:54 – SS: “Sergey Vladimirovich, I was able to get in touch with Bes [Note: Russian for demon. The Bes referenced here likely is a Ukrainian commander stationed at Karachun Mount, also nicknamed Bes, not the Militia’s Bezler], we discussed your question.”
27.06.2014 21:55 – SV: “Ok, how did he react?”
27.06.2014 21:57 – SS: “Just like we anticipated, at first adamantly against, but I was able to get him interested! … He’ll give me his final answer once he visits the location.”
28 June 2014
28.06.2014 01:13 – SS: “He responded. Took care of the problems; giving us the green light, so we can work.”
28.06.2014 01:20 – SV: “Alright, but keep on your toes with this Bes, so he does not turn into around …”
28.06.2014 01:22 – SS: “Don’t worry, we’ll find something to convince him with!”
