April 13, 1971 - Roman Burtsev
His crimes unfolded over three years in the mid-1990s, targeting young children in a pattern that drew comparisons to one of the Soviet Union's most notorious killers. The victims — six in total, most of them girls — were raped and strangled, crimes that remained a defining mark of violence against the vulnerable in post-Soviet Russia.
