Soviet law enforcement agencies organized events to catch a maniac. Crimes were solved, the perpetrators were found, but the situation did not change.

In 1982, the investigation had a clue: they were looking for a maniac with 4 blood groups. In 1984, Chikatilo was detained, but he had to be released because of a mismatch in blood type tests. In fact, the analysis was carried out incorrectly.

Women maniacs and serial killers - it would seem that this is impossible, but also women maniacs and serial killers in the USSR - this is doubly impossible. After all, the USSR was famous for its developed system of education and upbringing, where maniacs, murderers or criminals could come from, but they were. Yes, little was known about them then, because the information bans were so serious that they definitely could not publish such things in the newspaper Trud or Komsomolskaya Pravda.

However, thanks to or contrary to rumors, as well as rare information directly from law enforcement agencies, as well as recently declassified archival materials, it can be understood that there were maniacs and even women maniacs in the USSR.

Women maniacs in the history of the USSR

In the history of criminology, women serial killers are a relatively rare phenomenon, more often women became victims of maniacs, but there were exceptions.

If there are several hundred male maniacs all over the world, then there are only no more than 50 known female killers.

And in the USSR, it’s generally not necessary to talk about women maniacs in the plural, with the exception of one family. Yes, we are talking about the notorious family of poisoners Maslenok-Ivanyutin. This is the same school worker, as well as her mother and sister, who, during their horrific activities, killed at least 9 people and wanted to kill about the same number more, but these people miraculously survived. Among the victims of the maniac family, which also included the head of the family, were defenseless children, husbands and even neighbors. In most cases, the cause of poisoning was revenge or self-interest. So the maniac murderer Tamar Maslenko killed her first husband because of the apartment, while she poisoned schoolchildren in the dining room because they "behaved badly"!

Women maniacs in the history of the USSR, list

If we take into account not only the period of the USSR, but also the pre-revolutionary history of Russia, then there were 5 such women in total.

"Saltychikha" she is Saltykova Daria Nikolaevna.

"" she is Antonina Makarova-Ginzburg.

"Poisoner" Tamara Ivanyutina, her sister Nina Matsibora, her mother Maria Maslenko. It is Tamara Ivanyutina who is the most famous female maniac killer in the USSR, and it is not for nothing that the materials of the investigation in her case are included in textbooks on criminology.

Tamara Ivanyutina

Of course, there were also female maniacs in modern Russia, but they committed their crimes a little later, after the collapse of the Union, namely, the female maniacs of the Soviet Union are, first of all, the Maslenko family.

It is difficult to say whether women were still maniacs of the Soviet era, because suspicion falls on women less often, while criminologists believe that women mask their criminal activities more sophisticatedly, but if she picks up a murder weapon, she does it with particular sophistication.

By the way, this topic became popular after the recent case of a woman from St. Petersburg, pensioner Tamara Samsonova, who killed her ward, whom she was caring for.

Tamara Samsonova


However, based on the information in the diary found in her apartment, it can be assumed that she is guilty of more than a dozen more deaths, including her allegedly missing husband.

Animals in human form: 10 most ruthless serial killers of the USSR and the CIS

1. Anatoly Biryukov - "Baby Hunter"
This scum is called Anatoly Biryukov. He seemed to be 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.
Died in prison

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.
