December 5, 1972 - Farit Gabidullin
What distinguishes this case within the annals of Russian serial crime is the collaborative nature of the offending — twin brothers operating together across more than a decade, targeting women and girls in the same region. The span of the crimes, from 1989 to 2000, encompassed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the social upheaval that followed, a period when law enforcement across the former USSR was under significant strain. Investigators confirmed at least fourteen victims, though the suspicion of a higher actual toll has persisted since the convictions.
From Wikipedia
Farit Gabdulkhayevich Gabidullin (Russian: Фарит Габдулхаевич Габидуллин; born 5 December 1972) and Timur Gabdulkhayevich Gabidullin (Russian: Тимур Габдулхаевич Габидуллин; born 5 December 1972) are Soviet-Russian twin brothers and serial killers who were responsible for at least 14 murders and rapes of young girls and women around Chelyabinsk Oblast from 1989 to 2000. Both were convicted and sentenced for their respective roles in the crimes, but some suspect that they might have killed many more people than the amount they were convicted of.
