March 14, 1970 - Oleg Chizhov
Operating in Russia under a name that became synonymous with a sustained campaign of sexual violence and murder, Chizhov carried out a series of killings that drew attention both for their brutality and for the involvement of accomplices in at least one case. The regional designation attached to his crimes — "the Birsky Maniac" — reflects how deeply his actions were associated with a specific geography, a pattern common among serial offenders whose crimes define a place in public memory.
