September 15, 1952 - Serhiy Tkach
A former police officer, Tkach used his professional knowledge to evade detection for roughly a quarter century, operating across the Soviet Union and later independent Ukraine. His victims were overwhelmingly women and girls, and the span of his crimes — 1980 to 2005 — meant he continued killing through successive political and institutional upheavals that complicated cross-jurisdictional investigation. He was ultimately convicted of thirty-seven killings, making him one of the most prolific convicted serial killers in post-Soviet history.
