Ukrainian castrates himself after poll humiliation
A Ukrainian man castrated himself after his bid to be elected city mayor ended in humiliation.
Oleh Perkov, 49, received less than 100 votes in the poll for the position in the city of Zaporizhia, reports Interfax.
Mr Perkov, the head of a research institute, cut off his testicles because the result was "a humiliating defeat", the report says.
Doctors at a city hospital operated on him to repair the damage. He is in a stable condition, says a hospital official.
