Andrei Chikatilo. The Rostov Monster

The first murder frightened and embarrassed me, but after the second, I felt elation and joy (Andrei Chikatilo) A graduate of the philology faculty of Rostov University with a degree in Russian language and literature, a modest deputy principal at a school, chairman of the district committee for physical culture and sports, a humble family man, devotedly and forever in love with his wife, Andrei Chikatilo would have lived a quiet and unnoticed life if he had not succumbed to a passion that overtook him one day. For ten years, he killed and raped women and children in Rostov and neighboring regions. Often these crimes remained unsolved, but sometimes innocent people were imprisoned for the horrific murders. For a long time, investigators didn't even consider that one person could be responsible for all these murders… A lot has been written about the rapist and murderer A. Chikatilo in the media of Russia. The value of Pierre Lorren's book lies in the fact that it is the perspective of an outsider, the opinion and impression of a 'person from the outside'. The edition is supplemented with an interview with the killer.
