January 12, 1964 - Pyotr Gerankov
Operating across Omsk and into Kazakhstan, Gerankov carried out a series of killings tied directly to robbery, making his crimes as calculated as they were lethal. The ten murders attributed to him place him among the more prolific criminal cases to emerge from post-Soviet Russia. A death sentence was handed down, though Russia's moratorium on executions ultimately converted it to life imprisonment.
