“The first murder scared and embarrassed me, but after the second I experienced jubilation and joy” (Andrei Chikatilo)

A graduate of the Faculty of Philology of Rostov University with a degree in Russian Language and Literature, a modest head teacher at school, Chairman of the regional committee of physical culture and sports, a modest family man, selflessly and forever in love with his wife, Andrei Chikatilo would have lived a quiet and inconspicuous life if he had not one day succumbed to the passion that overwhelmed him. For ten years, he killed and raped women and children in Rostov and adjacent areas. Often these crimes remained unsolved, but sometimes innocent people were imprisoned in cases of terrible murders. For a long time, it did not even occur to the investigation that one person could be guilty of all these murders... A lot has been written about the rapist and murderer A. Chikatilo in the Russian media. The value of Pierre Lorrain's book is that it is the view of an outside observer, the opinion and impression of an “outside person.” The publication is supplemented with an interview with the killer. The publishing layout is preserved in PDF A4 format.
