Oleg Mitasov lived in Kharkov, Ukraine and died in 1999. While he was a master of Economics he was more renowned for mental illness. The rumor of Oleg is that his illness developed after he had left the manuscript of his PhD thesis behind in a streetcar, thus never becoming a PhD. Oleg covered every inch of his flat from the walls to the furnishing in disturbing scrawling. Many of the writing was repetitive and often illegible. When it came to space Oleg would simply write over what had already been written, resulting in layers upon layers of the creepy ramblings.
Later on after his death his apartment was sold by his mother and refurbished. It is now utilized as an office space.
