January 26, 1958 - Anatoly Nagiyev
Operating across a roughly two-year period in the late Soviet era, Nagiyev carried out a campaign of sexual violence and murder against women that drew the attention of investigators before his capture and execution at twenty-three. The nickname he acquired reflects the frenzied nature of his crimes, which extended beyond his confirmed killings to dozens of reported assaults — and, unusually, to a documented fixation on a nationally known public figure.
