March 23, 1943 - Aleksey Sukletin

Sukletin operated across several years in Soviet Tatarstan, committing a series of murders that involved both accomplices and cannibalism — a combination that placed him among the more unusual criminal cases documented in the late Soviet period. The involvement of co-conspirators, including Madina Shakirova and Anatoly Nikitin, distinguished his case from that of a solitary offender and raised questions about the social conditions under which such crimes could go undetected for so long.
