December 5, 1950 - Vladimir Romanov
Active for nearly fifteen years across the post-Soviet transition period, he operated with a persistence that allowed his crimes to continue largely unchecked through an era of institutional disruption. The victims were children, and the span of the case — from 1991 to his capture in 2005 — reflects both his methods and the investigative challenges of the period.
