About this listen
He looked harmless—bookish, quiet, almost invisible.
But behind the thick glasses and timid manner, Andrei Chikatilo was a sadistic predator who haunted the Soviet Union for over a decade.
Nicknamed The Butcher of Rostov, Chikatilo lured women and children, especially vulnerable runaways, with false promises of food, warmth and safety. What followed was unspeakable. His crimes were brutal, methodical... and astonishingly prolific.
How did one of history’s most savage serial killers slip through the cracks for so long?
The answer lies in the secrecy, dysfunction and decaying infrastructure of the late USSR — a system so broken it let a monster roam free.
In this chilling episode, Simon Ford and Jacques Morrell go beyond the headlines to ask two disturbing questions:
Could a killer like Chikatilo strike again today?
And more unsettling still — could it happen in a modern Western democracy?
