May 17, 1959 - Sergey Shipilov
His nickname — drawn from the most notorious Soviet serial killer — reflects both the nature of his crimes and the regional alarm they caused over years of violence in a small northern town. Operating largely within the tight geography of Velsk, he was convicted of fourteen murders and nine rapes, a toll that placed him among the more prolific offenders in post-Soviet Russian criminal history.
