Spesivtsev. Mom Knows. The True Story of a Serial Killer

The case of Alexander Spesivtsev continues to captivate even after a quarter of a century. If the devil exists, it was he who helped the maniac remain out of the sight of the police and the prosecutor's office, increasing the number of interrupted lives with each passing month. Before Spesivtsev, there was no maniac whose accomplice would be his own mother. Many mothers of serial killers rejected the truth until the end of their days. There were those who renounced their children, cursing them. In this case, the mother took a boot knife, cut up dead people into pieces, and carried their remains out into the street... Special correspondent of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" and author of the bestseller "Fisher. On the Trail of the Beast" Alexander Rogozha conducts a new journalistic investigation and delves into the gruesome details of one of the most high-profile cases of the 1990s to uncover the truth about Spesivtsev's demons. Did the maniac's close ones live in fear and sacrifice other people to the monster? Or did the mother herself create the conditions that shaped the serial killer? This book collects materials from the criminal case, interviews with investigators, experts, eyewitnesses, relatives of the victims, testimonies of the only witness who, at the age of 12, entered Spesivtsev's apartment and managed to escape, photos and videos from crime scenes, and other unique documentary facts.
