April 30, 1969 - Oleg Kuznetsov
Operating during the final dissolution of the Soviet Union, Kuznetsov carried out a concentrated series of attacks over roughly a year, targeting young women and girls in the Balashikha region. The short timeframe and the age range of his victims — spanning from adolescence into early adulthood — shaped the particular alarm his case generated among investigators and the public. He was executed in August 2000, one of the last years capital punishment was carried out in Russia before an informal moratorium took hold.
