About this listen
In this chilling episode, we delve into the dark heart of Rostov-on-Don in the 1980s, where a series of gruesome murders turned a Soviet town into a place of fear and suspicion. Andrei Chikatilo, a seemingly ordinary man, preyed upon the vulnerable, leaving a trail of death that spanned over a decade. We explore the haunting disappearance of Viktor Tishchenko, a 16-year-old boy with a head full of dreams, whose life was tragically cut short. As we uncover the failings of the Soviet investigation, the terror that gripped the community, and the relentless hunt for a killer who thrived in the shadows, we reveal how Chikatilo became one of the most notorious serial killers in history. Join us as we trace the rise and fall of "The Butcher of Rostov" and examine the legacy of fear he left behind in a town already struggling with the weight of a crumbling empire.
