Serial killers of women of the USSR. The most terrible maniacs in Russian history. Sergei Golovkin - "Fisher"

Everyone knows that in the Soviet Union there was no sex, religion and democracy, and if something scandalous happened, the authorities preferred to keep silent about it. Nevertheless, it was difficult to hide the bloody details of the most terrible crimes from society. Some of the maniacs listed in this selection could not be caught for a long time even after the collapse of the USSR, and some people were even accused by accident.

1. Anatoly Biryukov - "Baby Hunter"

Maniac Biryukov seemed like an exemplary family man and a respectable citizen: no one suspected that a decent husband and father was leading a double life.

Biryukov committed his first murder in 1977. He kidnapped the baby from the stroller, took it to a deserted place and tried to commit violent acts of a known nature against him. However, onlookers frightened off the maniac, and he killed the baby with a knife. In the same year, Biryukov committed several more rapes and murders of abducted babies, but by the sixth case, witnesses began to pursue him. Fortunately for the investigation, they were able to examine the rapist and make an identikit.

After the arrest, investigators and psychiatrists concluded that Biryukov suffered from a severe form of non-pyophilia - a passion for babies. In his defense, the offender said that he committed his atrocities because his wife refused to maintain intimate relations with him. In 1979, Biryukov, who killed a total of five babies, was shot.

2. Alexey Sukletin - "Alligator"

Sukletin has seven girls and women on his account, whom he killed and ate with his accomplices Shakirova and Nikitin. The first victim was a woman named Yekaterina Osetrova in 1981. Sukletin insisted that his mistress Shakirova help him kill, butcher and cook the dead. In love and tamed, Madina Shakirova was ready to do anything for her lover, so she agreed to take on the duties of a cook.

The cannibal idyll did not last long - after the murder of a little girl, Sukletin and Shakirova parted ways. The maniac did not grieve for long and immediately found a replacement - his relative Anatoly Nikitin often visited, with whom they eventually killed and dismembered a new victim.

Rumors began to circulate in the village that Sukletin was selling high-quality meat and tenderloin, and in the meantime the gang began to engage in extortion, on which they were caught. 4 bags of human bones were found in the garden of Sukletin. Maniac was shot in 1994, and Shakirov and Nikitin were sentenced to 15 years in prison. On account of the cannibals - at least seven victims.

3. Anatoly Onoprienko - "Citizen O"

By 1996, when Onoprienko was taken into custody, he had already killed about 52 people. The exact number of deaths to this day remains unknown, but according to the investigation, there were much more victims.

Onoprienko began his activity in 1989 together with his partner Sergey Rogozin. The "death duo" killed couples and even groups of young people, and they also broke into houses and shot all family members, including children. Often Onoprienko shot random passers-by.

The motives behind Citizen O's crimes are still unknown. According to him, he killed people because some forces and voices ordered him to do it. The crimes included three waves: against communism, nationalism and the plague of the 21st century. After a long search, the investigation finally got on the trail of Onoprienko. True, before that, an innocent person who died during torture was detained. After the trial, Anatoly Onoprienko was sentenced to death, but the sentence was never executed due to the abolition of the death penalty in Ukraine.

4. Sergei Golovkin - "Fisher"

Sergei was considered a young attractive man, but despite the fact that girls always curled around, he did not show interest in them. Fisher was more interested in teenage boys.

The first attempted rape and murder was an incident in 1984 (many years later, the surviving victim was able to identify Golovkin). The first murder that took place was the strangulation of 16-year-old Andrei in 1984: threatening with reprisal, Golovkin dragged the boy into the forest, raped, strangled and abused the body. Then the killings continued and caused a public outcry, because of which Fischer decided to go underground for a while.

In 1989, Golovkin got into business, but changed his style a little. He built a basement in his garage where he tortured, raped and killed boys. Due to the fact that the killer became careless and inaccurately buried the last bodies, he was quickly identified and found. In 1992, Fischer was finally arrested. He was sentenced to death, the sentence was executed in 1996. On account of the maniac 11 killed teenagers.

5. Anatoly Utkin - "Ulyanovsk maniac"

Anatoly Utkin, born in 1942, was a driver by profession. In 1968, his car was stopped by a 14-year-old girl, Liza Makarova, who urgently needed to go to the hospital with her mother. Taking advantage of the moment, Utkin raped and killed the poor thing, leaving himself a few of her personal belongings "as a keepsake".

The victims of the rampant maniac turned out to be both young girls and middle-aged women. After the disappearances of the girls and the finds of corpses, the public started up: a serial killer appeared in calm Ulyanovsk! Over time, Utkin began to take a more prudent approach to the choice of victims - he was guided by careful planning.

In 1972, the maniac's motives changed: now his goal was not violence and murder, but profit. In the same year, Utkin killed a man for the sake of robbery, and in 1973 he was taken into custody. After the investigation and the evidence found in the house of the suspect, the police had no doubts about his guilt. In 1975, Utkin was shot; in total, nine murders of his "authorship" were established.

Oddly enough, his family and acquaintances spoke extremely favorably about Anatoly Utkin. He was married twice and had two children.

6. Sergey Tkach - "Pavlograd Maniac"

Weaver has been operating since 1980, the motives for his crimes have always been of a sexual nature. The killer began to commit crimes after moving to Ukraine; he chose girls from 9 to 17 years old. The weaver carefully concealed the evidence, leaving no traces of sperm, prints and tissues on the bodies, however, he did not refuse the memorabilia of his victims, which he carefully kept.

In 2005, Tkach dealt with another victim - a nine-year-old girl - after which he was detained. During his search, 14 people were innocently convicted of crimes, which Tkach later confessed to.

Today Sergei Tkach is serving a life sentence. For some time in custody he had access to the Internet and communicated with interested people. On account of this cruel maniac from 30 to 150 victims.

7. Vladimir Mukhankin - "Lenin"

Vladimir was born into an incomplete family as an unwanted child (his father left his mother before the birth of his son), as a result of which he suffered constant bullying and a bad attitude at home. Hardened by the environment, Mukhankin periodically wandered, stole, attacked people and tortured and mocked animals. His nature did not prevent him from marrying at the age of 18, he had a son, who later died.

In 1995, "Lenin" begins to kill and commits eight murders in a few months. Mukhankin mocked his dying victims, performing horrific actions on the agonizing body. The maniac's real passion was human organs, with which he often went to bed.

After being caught, the criminal behaved obscenely and declared that he was the second Chikatilo. Mukhankin described his crimes in detail with pleasure, but at the trial he retracted all his testimony. He was found guilty of 22 crimes, eight of which were murders. Now Mukhankin is serving a life sentence in the Black Dolphin colony.

8. Vladimir Ionesyan - Mosgaz

During the Khrushchev thaw, it was hard to imagine that an intruder would get into your apartment, posing as an employee, for example, of Mosgaz or the housing office, which gave the criminal the opportunity to use this simple method. The authorities were furious, all forces were thrown into the capture of a maniac.

Due to the quick investigation and the quick reprisal against Ionesyan, his motives remained unclear. Most likely, he killed for the purpose of robbery. There is also a version that after leaving his wife for the ballerina Alevtina Dmitrieva, the criminal entered the apartments to find gifts for the woman. According to the third version, the murders helped Ionesyan to assert himself.

Mosgaz committed the first murder in 1963: having entered the apartment, he hacked to death a 12-year-old boy who was alone at home with an ax and took a few things. The last murder of a 46-year-old woman took place in 1964, the same year the criminal was taken into custody and shot.

There is an unproven version that Khrushchev himself spoke with Ionesyan. The killer has five victims, four of whom are children.

9. Roman Burtsev - "Kamensky Chikatilo"

Burtsev's parents were alcoholics, which probably influenced the formation of his personality. He began his bloody "career" as a pedophile in 1993 with the murder of his brother and sister Churilov - First he got rid of the boy, and then raped and killed the girl. The bodies were buried in a hole.

Burtsev was always distinguished by accuracy: he hid the bodies of the victims so carefully that almost all of them were found only when the killer himself showed the burial places. However, the thoroughness of the burial of the corpses let Burtsev down - after another murder, he asked for a shovel from one of the residents of his village, after which he threw the gun away. The woman described the appearance of a strange man, and a little later he was also identified by one of the victims who managed to escape.

In 1996, Roman Burtsev was caught and sentenced to death, but then the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. "Kamensky Chikatilo" managed to kill six people.

10. Vasily Kulik - "Irkutsk Monster"

As a child, Vasily Kulik was a sickly child, but in the family he was always looked after and taken care of. Due to constant illnesses, almost everything was forgiven him, so Vasily grew up rather selfish and cruel, in his teens he poisoned and hung cats.

With age, Kulik got stronger and began to play sports. After an attack and a blow to the head in 1980, he began to have sexual desires for children, in 1982 Kulik committed the first rape, and two years later the first murder of a nine-year-old girl. The maniac did not shun the murders of pensioners: by his own admission, he compiled a list of old women of interest to him.

Panic began in Irkutsk, and the killer tried to be more careful, however, during another assassination attempt in 1986, passers-by managed to stop him. The “Irkutsk monster” confessed everything, but at the trial he suddenly began to deny his involvement, stating that he was framed by the Chibis gang. After a thorough investigation, Vasily Kulik was shot in 1989. On his account there were 13 murders.

As you know, in the Soviet Union, many topics were taboo, and if something out of the ordinary happened, the authorities tried to hide it. But it was difficult to hide from the public the bloody murders that terrified the whole country. This rating describes the most dangerous maniacs of the USSR and their sensational deeds, which still make the blood run cold.

Vasily Kulik - "Irkutsk Monster"

As a child, Vasily was very sick, and the whole family looked after and cared for him. Due to numerous illnesses, he was forgiven for every offense, so Vasily grew up to be a very cruel and evil person, as a teenager he tortured and killed cats. As a young man, Kulik actively went in for sports and matured significantly. After he was attacked and hit on the head in 1980, he began to notice sexual desire for children behind him.
A couple of years later, Vasily commits his first rape, and in 1984 he kills a nine-year-old girl for the first time. In addition to minors, he was also interested in pensioners, the investigation later found a list of old women whom Kulik wanted to kill. In 1986, bystanders stopped Kulik during another crime. When he was taken to the department, he confessed to everything, but at the trial he began to claim that he had been framed by a gang of local authority. After an investigation and undeniable evidence of Kulik's involvement in the murders, he was sentenced to death in 1989. In total, the Irkutsk Monster committed 13 murders.

The childhood of Roman Burtsev was not at all easy. His parents suffered from alcoholism, which may have influenced his future fate. He committed the first murder in 1993, the victims were the brother and sister of Churilov - the first he beat a boy to death, and then abused his sister and killed her. After that, he threw the children's corpses into a garbage pit. Burtsev was a very neat maniac: he hid the bodies well, all of them were found only after Roman showed the crime scene to the investigators. However, once Burtsev lost his vigilance: after another crime, he borrowed a shovel from his neighbor, which he never returned to her. The neighbor suspected that something was wrong and turned to the police, later the servants of the law found Burtsev. In 1996, he was sentenced to death by firing squad, but the sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. "Kamensky Chikatilo" sent 6 people to the next world, all the victims are children.

During the reign of Khrushchev, it was hard to even imagine that a criminal would get into your house, posing as an employee of Mosgaz. It was in such a simple but effective way that Vladimir Ionesyan used. The servants of the law went berserk, and all the resources were thrown to catch the bandit. As soon as they caught him, they immediately executed him. Most likely, Vladimir committed crimes for the purpose of robbery. According to another version, after a divorce from his wife, because of his love for the ballerina Alevtina Dmitrieva, Vladimir entered other people's houses in order to steal something valuable for his beloved woman. According to another version, killing Ionesyan asserted himself. Mosgaz committed the very first crime in 1963 - having got into the apartment by deceit, he cut up a 12-year-old boy who was at home himself and stole valuables. The last time he killed was in 1964, his victim was a 46-year-old woman, Vladimir was caught and he was put to death. According to unconfirmed reports, Khrushchev personally spoke with the criminal. In total, the killer sent five people to the next world, four of them are children.

Mukhankin grew up in an inferior family, he was an unexpected child (his father left the family before his birth), from his mother he received only slaps and constant insults. Mukhankin's character underwent changes, he became evil and cruel, began to wander, stole, mocked cats and dogs. At the age of 18 he married, he had a child who died soon after. In 1995, Vladimir Mukhankin committed the first murder and in a couple of months he already had eight deaths. By mocking dying people, he made the very last seconds of their lives terrible. Mukhankin's fetish was the internal organs of the victim, with them he even went to bed. After the criminal was caught, he declared that he was a follower of Chikatilo. Vladimir with genuine pleasure told about his atrocities, but in court he refused everything that was said. It has twenty-two crimes, eight of them murders. "Lenin" will live out his life in the "Black Dolphin" prison.

Sergei Tkach, as a maniac debuted in 1980, all his crimes had a sexual connotation. He began to commit crimes after he moved to Ukraine, the victims were girls from 9 to 17 years old. Sergei always concealed evidence very well, no traces of semen or any other evidence were found on the bodies of those killed. Only by 2005, the Weaver was detained, after the massacre of a nine-year-old girl. While the police were looking for a maniac, 14 people were unfairly convicted for all those atrocities, the author of which was Tkach. "Pavlograd maniac" will serve a life sentence in prison. For all the time of his activity, he killed from 30 to 150 people.

Anatoly Utkin was born in 1942. After graduation, he worked as a driver. In 1968, on a warm spring day, his car was slowed down by a 14-year-old girl who was in a hurry to see her mother in the hospital. Utkin abused her and killed her, keeping valuable things as a keepsake. The victims of the Ulyanovsk maniac were both young girls and ladies of Balzac age. The public rose to the ears when, over and over again, the corpses of the disappeared girls were found: in quiet Ulyanovsk, a dangerous maniac is walking around. Anatoly understood that sooner or later he could be caught, so he began to choose victims systematically. 1972 was marked by a change in the motives of the criminal: now he did not want to kill and rape, he was only interested in profit. In the same 1972, Utkin kills a man in order to rob, and in 1973 he was arrested. After all the evidence was discovered, the justice officials had no doubts about Utkin's guilt. It was proved that he committed 9 murders and in 1975 he was shot. With all this, Anatoly Utkin was a respectable family man, acquaintances and relatives characterized him as an extremely pleasant person.

Sergei Golovkin was a young and handsome man in appearance, girls lay down behind him in piles, but they were of little interest to him. "Fischer" preferred teenage boys. The first pancake, as you know, is always lumpy, so it happened with the first attempt at rape and murder, in 1984. The victim managed to escape and after many years, she identified the perpetrator in the police. The first successful murder was committed in 1984, Golovkin killed a 16-year-old guy: first he dragged him into a forest belt, raped him, killed him and abused his body again. The killings did not stop, and this stirred up public interest, Sergei, fearing exposure, went underground. In 1989, Fisher returned to business, but changed its approach. He dug a basement in his own garage, where he killed teenagers. Due to the fact that the maniac lost his vigilance and inaccurately buried the remains of the last victims, he was quickly tracked down. In 1992, he ended up behind bars. The verdict is logical - the death penalty, which was carried out in 1996. For all the time of his activity, he killed eleven children.

In 1996, when Onoprienok was detained, he had already killed 52 people. The exact number of those killed will remain unknown, the investigation assumed that there were much more victims. Onoprienko committed his first crime in 1989, together with Sergei Rogozin. Together they killed couples, entered apartments and slaughtered entire families. Onoprienko sometimes shot random passers-by. The motives that led Anatoly are still unknown. According to him, he had to kill people because the voice in his head ordered him to do it. While the police were looking for Onoprienko, an innocent man was detained during the investigation, who died during the torture. After legal proceedings, "citizen o" was sentenced to death, but it was canceled, because at that time the death penalty was abolished in Ukraine.

Aleksey Sukletin did not work alone; Shakirova and Nikitin hunted with him. They killed Ekaterina Osetrova first, in 1981. Alexey forced Shakirova to help him in the murder, butchering and cooking of the victims. Blinded by Shakirov's love, she was ready to do everything that Sukletin ordered her to, she began to butcher and cook human meat. Their union did not last long - after they killed a little girl, Shakirova decided to leave Sukletin. Aleksey almost immediately found an accomplice - his relative Anatoly Nikitin became him, with him "Alligator" continued his atrocious crimes. There were rumors in the village that Anatoly was selling good meat, and the bandits, meanwhile, began to hunt for robbery, on which they were caught. Four bags filled with human bones were found in the criminal's house. The maniac was shot in 1994, and his accomplices received 15 years in prison each. At least seven people were killed and eaten by the cannibals.

Anatoly Biryukov was considered an exemplary family man and a respectable citizen, not suspecting that he was living a double life. The first time Biryukov killed in 1977. He stole a child from a stroller, took him to a wasteland and wanted to abuse him. But the frightened maniac could not do his dirty work - passers-by noticed him and had to kill the baby with a knife. In the same year, Anatoly kills and rapes several more children. Witnesses were able to notice him only during the attempt of the sixth crime. Eyewitnesses made an identikit, the investigation began its search. After the arrest, the doctors determined the diagnosis of Biryukov. Anatoly suffered from non-pyophilia - sexual desire for children, in infancy. Biryukov justified his crimes by saying that his wife did not fulfill her marital duty for a long time. In 1979, Anatoly was sentenced to death, and in the same year the verdict was carried out. For all the time of his activity, five babies became his victims.

7. Vladimir Mukhankin - "Lenin"

Vladimir was born into an incomplete family as an unwanted child (his father left his mother before the birth of his son), as a result of which he suffered constant bullying and a bad attitude at home. Hardened by the environment, Mukhankin periodically wandered, stole, attacked people and tortured and mocked animals. His nature did not prevent him from marrying at the age of 18, he had a son, who later died.
In 1995, "Lenin" begins to kill and commits eight murders in a few months. Mukhankin mocked his dying victims, performing horrific actions on the agonizing body. The maniac's real passion was human organs, with which he often went to bed.
After being caught, the criminal behaved obscenely and declared that he was the second Chikatilo. Mukhankin described his crimes in detail with pleasure, but at the trial he retracted all his testimony. He was found guilty of 22 crimes, eight of which were murders. Now Mukhankin is serving a life sentence in the Black Dolphin colony.
8. Vladimir Ionesyan - Mosgaz

During the Khrushchev thaw, it was hard to imagine that an intruder would get into your apartment, posing as an employee, for example, of Mosgaz or the housing office, which gave the criminal the opportunity to use this simple method. The authorities were furious, all forces were thrown into the capture of a maniac.
Due to the quick investigation and the quick reprisal against Ionesyan, his motives remained unclear. Most likely, he killed for the purpose of robbery. There is also a version that after leaving his wife for the ballerina Alevtina Dmitrieva, the criminal entered the apartments to find gifts for the woman. According to the third version, the murders helped Ionesyan to assert himself.
Mosgaz committed the first murder in 1963: having entered the apartment, he hacked to death a 12-year-old boy who was alone at home with an ax and took a few things. The last murder of a 46-year-old woman took place in 1964, the same year the criminal was taken into custody and shot.
There is an unproven version that Khrushchev himself spoke with Ionesyan. The killer has five victims, four of whom are children.
9. Roman Burtsev - "Kamensky Chikatilo"

Burtsev's parents were alcoholics, which probably influenced the formation of his personality. He began his bloody "career" as a pedophile in 1993 with the murder of his brother and sister Churilov - First he got rid of the boy, and then raped and killed the girl. The bodies were buried in a hole.
Burtsev was always distinguished by accuracy: he hid the bodies of the victims so carefully that almost all of them were found only when the killer himself showed the burial places. However, the thoroughness of the burial of the corpses let Burtsev down - after another murder, he asked for a shovel from one of the residents of his village, after which he threw the gun away. The woman described the appearance of a strange man, and a little later he was also identified by one of the victims who managed to escape.
In 1996, Roman Burtsev was caught and sentenced to death, but then the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. "Kamensky Chikatilo" managed to kill six people.
10. Vasily Kulik - "Irkutsk Monster"

As a child, Vasily Kulik was a sickly child, but in the family he was always looked after and taken care of. Due to constant illnesses, almost everything was forgiven him, so Vasily grew up rather selfish and cruel, in his teens he poisoned and hung cats.
With age, Kulik got stronger and began to play sports. After an attack and a blow to the head in 1980, he began to have sexual desires for children, in 1982 Kulik committed the first rape, and two years later the first murder of a nine-year-old girl. The maniac did not shun the murders of pensioners: by his own admission, he compiled a list of old women of interest to him.
Panic began in Irkutsk, and the killer tried to be more careful, however, during another assassination attempt in 1986, passers-by managed to stop him. The “Irkutsk monster” confessed everything, but at the trial he suddenly began to deny his involvement, stating that he was framed by the Chibis gang. After a thorough investigation, Vasily Kulik was shot in 1989. On his account there were 13 murders.
