August 16, 1971 - Igor Irtyshov
His crimes targeted some of the most vulnerable, and the Soviet-era legal system ultimately handed down its most severe available sanction in response. The case stands as one of the more grim entries in the registry of Russian serial offenders whose actions against children led to irreversible harm.
From Wikipedia
Igor Anatolievich Irtyshov (Russian: Игорь Анатольевич Иртышов; born 16 August 1971 — died February 2021) was a Russian serial child rapist and child murderer. He was sentenced to death for several rapes of young boys, two of which ended in fatalities. Later, in connection with the moratorium on the death penalty imposed by Boris Yeltsin, the verdict was replaced by life imprisonment.
