In February, two thousand to Russia's capital city was under attack by one of the most prolific serial killers, emanations history, but nobody knew it twenty seven year old, Alexander Pushkin was a stealth. as he was single minded employee a well honed method that worked like a charm. Once he settled on a victim, he would invite them to accompany him on a walk through bits of park, brawling woodland in the city southwest he'd lure them with a sob story. His dog. He died. He wanted company and the promise of free vodka once he was alone with his victim he'd incapacitate them by hitting them over the head then them down a well to drown. The vast sewer system below not a true some of them remained over. The

of a single year petition had killed at least ten people this way, and he was only just getting started, as we discussed last time The chicken was a keen chess player ever since his grandfather introduced him to the game in his adolescence. We don't know exactly what it was about chess that drew him in. But since Petrushka was bold school and struggled academically, it's likely he got a thrill. from finding something that he could finally excel at, but after picturesque and committed is first murder at eighteen. His obsession with chess took a dark turn the thrill of simply winning a match paled in comparison to getting away with murder at this time did mine concocted away to blend the two he wanted to kill enough people to fill. The whereas on a chess board all sixty four of them skin was now playing a much darker kind of game, the rules of which, give us some insight into his personality.

Venice is going to take over on the psychology here and throughout the episode. Please note Vanessa not a licence psychologist or list, but she has done lot of research, for this show thanks Greg chickens. Interaction with his victims was, of course, nothing like chess. It was a one sided sadistic game in which his opponent had no opportunity to strategies or make their own moves. In fact, patrician didn't see his victims as his opponents at all. He saw them as pieces on a board in mid objects that he could manipulate and position as he pleased seeing Human beings in this way could be a symptom of a personality disorder. Most likely narcissistic purse disorder according to the DSM five NPD is characterized by a pattern of grandiosity need. admiration and lack of empathy. As far as we know,

chicken has never been formally diagnosed, but he fits all three main criteria. Grandeur osity city in psychology refers to feelings of superiority and entitlements and exaggerated sense of being better and more deserving than other people, bitch, skin had no qualms about preying on vulnerable people and taking their lives and seemed to gain a feeling of power and superiority from doing so. His killings, He was motivated by his desperate desire for admiration, specifically his wish to be his famous as the notorious russian serial killer Andrew Rachel. A pillow and patricians Lack of empathy for his victims is clear and every account of the murders he had no empathy even for the most vulnerable kinds of people and often targeted them on purpose. Many of his victims are seniors. A few were children, and his most recent was a pregnant woman on February. twenty third two thousand to purchase, get attack.

nineteen year old Maria Vira Chea who survived against a extraordinary odds, odds after he threw her down a well and left her to by by February four TH, two thousand and two Maria was in the hospital where police told her that they wouldn't investigate the attack and picturesque in Bali, Her dead was on top of the world over the next couple of weeks, killed three more people there. In early march. He crossed paths with Micaiah lobby of a thirteen year. Old boy, men outside a metro station, some reports meanwhile, was homeless, but it's not clear whether that's true, but he was bored and broke and easily lured by the promise of free alcohol, so he went with Patricia into the wilderness of bits of park trudging for twenty minutes through snowy forests. Until at last, they reached a clearing beside a well pitches, skin off,

Mikhail a cigarette which he readily accepted along with his vodka. They drank and then in a flash ash pitcher skins struck blow to the head, sent Mikhail crumpling to the ground, barely conscious. It was easy for picturesque into shove him down the well sending him tumbling into the darkness but Huskin made a mistake: by yet another successful kill. He turned on his head. you and strolled back out of the park very looking back. If he had, he will I've noticed that May Calles jacket was caught in a piece of metal just inside the well the family was strong enough to stop the teens fall. Suspend him in mid air. Just sorry Mikhail crawled back out of the well and lay shaking the frozen ground once regained his strength. He made his way back out of the park and found a policeman. He report

exactly what happened to him. Unmoved, The policeman told Mikhail to go home gets weirder a week later, Mikael ran into patrician outside outside the same metro station where they met it's hard to say which of them was more startled. Michael's reaction reaction was instant. The boy in in horror clutching his his hair, drawing stairs from passers by he ran over a police officer station near the metro and grabbed his arm, pointing frantically at petrushka. He yelled, that's the man who attacked me. That's him. have to do something throughout all of this petition was eerily calm. He was surprised, eyes to see Mikhail alive, of course, buddy. worried. He knew that nobody would lead Mikhail, who was just a kid and he

He was right, the policeman snatched his arm away from Michael and told him to go home. None of the cops even looked twice at pickin after Maria Vera, Chava reported her attack to the police. The officer blackmailed her to keep her quiet, not because he was trying to protect protect. It seems that he simply didn't want to do the work of investigating this heinous crime, in light of Mikhail, to attempts to alert the police. Its clear that this was a pattern of behaviour in the mid. Two thousand. The russian police didn't have a good reputation. Corruption is rampant and citizens were used to being stopped by police for reasons that seemed arbitrary, designed to solicit. Bribes are toothache, a survey by the Lavada Center in Moscow showed more than half of the russian population, didn't trust the police, and yet both Maria and Mikhail, wanted to put their trust in the police. They wanted to believe

that law enforcement would do its job and protect them. Instead, the authorities, Ask them aside and lead pitch. skins reign of terror continue the moment sighed. The metro station was intoxicating for petition as a child old and adolescent. He felt ignored, abandoned by his father and ostracised by his classmates. Now he felt invincible Mick accused him in broad daylight right in front of a group of police officers and nothing happened. He was unstoppable. A superhuman force, and yet his personal life remained frustratingly mundane now, twenty eight pitch skin had lived in the same small apartment with his mother and sister for his, tire life in the two room apartment, which was part of Russia's first, public housing projects, the living room, but does the second bedroom there

little space, even less privacy, and things were about to get even more uncomfortable around two thousand three patrician sister Katya got married and her husband moved in the Peterkins family apartment. The young couple took the bedroom, while bid skin and his mother Natasha both in the living room picturesque and slept on a couch? Ten feet from his mother's queen size We don't know much about what the family environment was like, but it's hard to imagine. This was a comfortable situation for a young man, but I had a goal to keep him occupied. One of his few possessions was the chessboard where he marked off his coat. girls one by one with each square, He was inching steadily closer to his dream of sixty four key and he was already frighteningly far along with that plan, the details of pitches

murders in the second half of two thousand to an early months of two thousand three get murky. There isn't much reporting from this time. But we know that by early two thousand three, he killed close to thirty people and they to the police's indifference Patricia had no reason to believe he'd have any trouble doubling that number, but well picturesque in himself was flying under the radar. His crimes were not for all his plan. he was not a particularly adventurous hunter. He rail ventured outside of his comfort zone. Finding most victims in the park or at Metro stations nearby many of pitches his victims were also his neighbors, this by design. He fell bit more satisfying to kill someone if he bonded with them first and he had no shortage of neighbors to choose from the can building was one of several identical soviet blocks on Kherson Sky, a street.

Over the years. Ten people went missing from four adjacent apartment, buildings on and Skya, and by early two thousand and three the word was spreading. families of the ten missing victims on persons Gaia found each other with no police best negating it fell to them to make the connection and draw the obvious conclusion that these disappearing says, were not a coincidence. They had to be the work of a monster sense of any real information. The families could the gas at who was responsible. Some suspected that of violet patient had escaped from the psyche jack institution on the edge of bits, a park, others one if the mafia was involved, and surely some people must have suspected that the culprit was someone, sir, to home, someone who lived among them, but nobody seemed to suspect skin and nobody really expected the police to do anything. They were you,

to being ignored and so to choose, and carried on in the spring of two thousand three. He was walking to home when his eye fell on a middle aged man, the man was sitting alone at a bus, stop drinking, he looked aimless as though he had nowhere, in particular to be as though he could use some company as though he would make a perfect thirty seconds Pachucki walked up to the man and went through his familiar routine, inviting him on a walk through bits, a park, the man agreed, though he didn't seem enthusiastic. He morose a little drunk and law. In his own thoughts as they walked, purchase try to cheer his companion up. He asked if you could be granted one wish. What would it be

The man responded solemnly to stop drinking with a smile Franciscan replied. I promise you today will be the day that you stop drinking ones, the two men reached patricians favorite clearing here. in waste any time he knew that this drug, miserable man wasn't going to provide him with much worthwhile conversation so when the man's back was turned. He struck him over the head with a hammer and pushed down the well Another life ended another body ass to the sewers, but walking huh. That night after claiming is thirty second victim picturesque and felt restless unsatisfied. The old adrenalin rush eluded him He realized tat. He was tired of his same routine, tired, familiar victims and a Above all, he was tired of pudding in all this work. Pulling off so many perfect crime.

And getting no recognition for it, despite his waning interest purchase, can killed several more people through the rest of two thousand three, but there's no of any confirmed murders in two thousand and four. We don't exactly why he took this hiatus, but based on what happened next, we can guess pitch. Skin was a meticulous killer who loved to strategies after his first murder and ninety ninety two. He way nine years before he killed again and into that and for he was biting his time. Once more cooking a new plan that would renew his enthusiasm for murder coming up petitions, killing spree takes an even more gruesome turn. Listen, here's a show!

Now back to the story, by the end of two thousand three twenty nine year old Alexander Patrician had killed more than thirty people, despite being reported to police by two surviving victims. He had gone completely undetected in two thousand for

He seemingly took a hiatus from killing, perhaps because he lost his enthusiasm for an act that had become routine. He spent that year plan in his next move, the following year, two thousand and five, I can to killing with a vengeance. But as me said, it changed in a critical way. Peterkin was stand once by the police in nineteen. Ninety two, when he was eighteen after during his classmate Mikhail Oda Chuck. He was real. without charge, but the experience spooked him when he started killing again in two thousand one. He was careful to despair. of his victims in a way that made him untraceable, but now four years on to get through caution to the wind, maybe he'd simply become arrogant. After all, he been confronted by Mikhail love off right in front of the police and walked away a free man. He had no reason to fear capture, though

Perhaps he finally wanted to be noticed. He was sick and putting in such meticulous work and then forced to destroy the evidence. He was ready, who put on a show in October pitches and met thirty one year old Nickolay Bore be off in the park. He asked him to take a walk offered him vodka. faint interest in his life. He did all of the things that had begun part of this routine. But this time something was different When Vora Bio was distracted, Petrushka pulled a hammer from his pocket and hit him in the back of the head again and again as Varro be off. Lay either unconscious or dying. Peterkin had a choice to make do what he always did and dispose of his victims body in the sewer system, by ensuring that it would not be found, or he could put his group new plan into motion, the plan that happen

occupying his mind for more than a year. Reckless, though it was picturesque and couldn't resist he crouched beside the motionless, Vora Bov, who lay face down on the ground. Then he picked up the vodka bottle and slowly deliberately he jammed it into the back of Arabia's cracked skull elated picturesque and can walked away. He left aboard. brutalized body lying in the forest and went home to his family. He no longer feared getting caught Then again, it's also possible that deep down he wanted to be caught, he'd been invisible for his entire life, with a dead end job and no love life. Now, almost thirty, he faced the prospect the growing older under his mother's roof alone. And unnoticed, and if attention

Bit of engaging his victims in conversation asking them. Questions about their lives. It's likely that it came up in the past five out that his victim was a cop, might have given petition pause, but now, with his newly reckless approach, he forged ahead when Socrates goes body was found with wounds that precisely matched Bora be off the police. They were dealing with a serial killer. The process Peter General, was notified, as were a senior detector, that Russia's Ministry of the Interior, the race to The killer is on an Thirty one year old patrician was running his own race through the final word.

On the back of his victims head, he left the bodies Lee around the Snowy park, where they were discovered by police by Christmas of that year.

Moscow was gripped by terror, as word spread that serial killer was on the loose in bits park. The story made national headlines and attracted interest across the globe as the cover snowballed. Moscow's anonymous monster was given a name, the bid self skip. mark, maniac the show What the maniac loomed large over the city that winter normally a popular spot for us, letting it skiing the park became forbidden territory for children. even for many cautious adults, back on course Sky, the street, where patrician lived families of the missing victims wondered if the maniac had claimed their loved ones to relate through frightened whispers story consumed, the entire block, the patrician home was no exception.

Six catches can killed at least five more people, all of whom were founded bits. A park Their locations were all over the map, but injuries never varied head trauma, fractured skull and a foreign object protruding from a gaping wound in February of two thousand six.

Autopsies the victims revealed only that their skulls for fractured by an object with an angled edge most like a hammer, but with no one residents and no apparent links between the victims. The inverse negation, moved slowly and then in June of two thousand six bitch Skin made a mistake that would be his undoing or perhaps it wasn't a mistake perhaps it was a deliberate sacrifice. The concept of safe suffices central in chess in a sacrifice, a player it's up a piece, often something valuable like a queen in order to gain other tactical advantage or to facilitate a checkmate. It's a leap of faith, giving up some of value in the belief that the reward will outweigh the cost in this idea. help us understand what happened next on an afternoon in MID June petition

had just finished a shift at the supermarket. His coworker thirty six your old, Marina Moscow. Yoga was reading the store at the same time and the two struck up a com radiation protection. Ass. If she liked to go in a walk in the park, marinas Yes, then This can asked how about right now, Marina shook her head. She had plans this evening, but she could go them tomorrow with a smile pitcher. skin agreed. It was a date, the next day, as Marina, prepared to leave her apartment to meet the chicken she hesitated. She had known him for a long time through work. She had no particular reason to be wary of him, and yet she felt a sense of foreboding. She knew the headlines about the bits of park. Maniac had put her on edge that she was. Probably overreacting, still before

She left her apartment. That night she wrote a note to her son, explaining that she was out with Alexander, Patricia skin and included, phone number Marina met up with picturesque and on the outskirts of the park and wandered through the forest with him on a car Sonny June afternoon, the dappled woodland pants, where idyllic, the air ringing with Birdsong but pitches, can barely noticed his to kill was so overwhelming that he could focus on little else. As the sun sank, lower in the sky pitch Skin and marina stopped in a clearing surrounded by silver birch trees. They share several beers and, at some point, Marina told him about the note she left for her son. We do no exactly why she brought this up its past Well, she was scared, maybe she's the strange vibe from her companion, or perhaps it was a joke. A dark, a comic line, like you better, not have brought me out here to kill

Either way this information gave patrician pause. He now knew with absolute certainty that if Marino went missing, he would be. The police's first suspect this. wasn't like when Mikhail accused him in front of police at the Metro station now his murders were free, page news and the countries most senior investigators were leading the case, in other words, knew that knew that killing Marina was tantamount to turning himself in, but he couldn't resist. Maybe he was drunk on arrogance, unable to fathom how he could ever be caught or Maybe in killing Marina, he made a choice for months he had come. recklessly leaving as victims out in the open, with a distinctive trademark he was tired of skulking in the shadows watching the bits of ski park. Maniac command, the nations attention Getting none of the credit

Moscow was gripped by fear of the bits of park, maniac and investigator had very few leaves, but peterkins most recent.

Damn Marina Moscow Yoga had taken precautions, Marina spooked by the headline. about the bits of park. Maniac, after a note explaining that she was on a date with Alexander Petition, whose phone number wrote down after Marina to come home from her date, her son knew exactly what to do. He called the chicken and asked where his mother was petitions. Balance was baffling, I haven't, seen her in two months. This was an obvious fly pitch Skin and marina work together at the supermarket. Almost every day. He should have been anticipating. This call, since Marina had told him about the note, but he didn't seem to have a cover story prepared as my readers son, pressed him picturesque and said he was busy and then hung up immediately. Marinas son alerted the police who began searching the park at this point. They found, well the maniacs victims and had a horrible system,

that Marina was about to become the thirteen they didn't have tempt search for long on June, Fourteenth the police found Marina. Her distinctive wounds left no doubt that she was murdered by the maniac, but there was an even more Orton piece of evidence on her body He's found a metro ticket inside Marinas pocket, which was time stamped using that tick they search surveillance, footage and found Marina with Alexander Patricia can at her side the pie I got onto a train that Novia Chair emotionally station and got off at Conco, which was close to bits of park taken today, there. The note and the surveillance footage were damning and this time the police. We're going to sit on our hands and do nothing. Shortly before midnight. On July, sixteenth, two thousand six the purchase confirm They were getting ready for bad a knock

the door startled Pushkin's mother Natasha, who answered it wearily as soon as the door was open. A small army of riot police stormed the apartment pushing into living room where Packin was Natasha was terrified, but the officers were pleasant, her that they needed to questioned her son about a string of burglaries in the area to chicken was com and didn't resist as the police put him under arrest and courted him out of the apartment, curtains twitch as the role of officers marched, Patricia, can pass the windows of aghast neighbours once he was custody, an officer head, Natasha, a document spelling out what skin was actually accused of Natasha to the couch and motionless shock around her Police officers search the apartment from top to bottom. Looking for evidence against petition among us

belongings. They found a chess board with sixty three of its sixty four squares marked. There are conflicting reports on exactly what this chessboard looked like different versions of the story claim that patrician marked each square with across a coin or hasted on number There is no ambiguity about what the marked off squares represent each one was a murder victim petition knew it was risky to keep track of his kills on a physical chessboard. In such a small apartment, his mother, sister or brother in law, surely must have seen the board at some point and wondered what the mark squares represented, but despite the risk, keeping a physical record of murders is a common behaviour amongst serial killers. Many serial killers keep trophies or trinkets from their victims, clothing per possessions, possessions, even body parts, their

seminal nineteen. Ninety five book mind Hunter inside the FBI's elite, cereal crime unit, FBI agents, Douglas and mark all shaker describe one possible reason for this behaviour once the victims dead and the body has been disposed of, the killer wants to able to relive the thrill continue acting out the fantasy. Do it again and again by keeping a kill, tally on his chessboard pitcher. he was trying to bottle the feeling of overwhelming power he had as he murdered his victims, and it would soon become clear just how eager he was to relive his crimes in great detail in a holding cell at the police station detective supertanker question petition at first to that a two year old, was quiet, unwilling to talk but Superman go knew how to draw him out. He was familiar with men like this nurse

this too have never felt appreciated or who want nothing more than to be flattered. Superintend go made point of staring directly at Pushkin, giving him his full attention. He told truth. that he admired him and watched the younger man's face light up, describing is interrogation technique. He said it was very important for patrician that people think he was a hero. So I made. Him feel like a hero, the course of many months purchased can give confession that stunned even the hardened Super Nenco. It didn't take long for petition to confess to the third murders that the police do about, but soon he again telling super NATO and his colleagues that there were more a lot more. There were over sixty He told them about the Seward years, how he murmured dozens of people and disposed of their bodies inside wells Super NATO and his team

were somewhat sceptical. They knew that bitch. Can enjoy their attention and would happily lie to keep it, and yet they also had reason to believe him. There A string of unsolved disappearances dating all the way back to two thousand one and the missing victims, families already suspected the bits apart, maniac was responsible, would investigate scoured the missing person reports, a lot of the details lined up, but they couldn't take. His word, for it so, on dozens of visits to bits of park, detectives, escorted patrician through the woods as he retraced his footsteps, and reenacted his crimes on video tape. You Dummies detectives had him demonstrate exactly how he murdered his victims. He had alarmingly accurate, recall of exactly where and how they each died

after months of these surreal reenactments in combination with missing person records the authorities had evidence to charge bit skin with forty eight murders and three attempted murders. The skin was upset not because he was being charged, but because he insisted that his real kill count was sixty even taking into account the three victims who escaped he said There were twelve more murders that should be counted, but this state could only prosecute what it could prove on September. Thirteenth two thousand Seven pitcher skins trial began in Moscow in a particularly breaking piece of imagery. He was confined. HU, a glass cage throughout six week, long proceedings as he gave us testimony. He was in high spirits, the no remorse it's from Russia's main psychiatric clinic testified that patrician was saying and also concluded He had a person

disorder, expressed in a sadistic inclination toward murder his of empathy was on full display as patricians Merkt and show boded his way through the trial. He taunted the court taking great pleasure recounting as crimes recalling the pin, power. He got from killing picturesque and said I alone was prosecutor. I was the lawyer jury judge. I was However, I needed to be- and I decided who going to live and who wasn't? I was just like God, God or not, it was patricians turn to be judged on October, twenty TH, two thousand seven

thirty three year old, Alexander Petrushka, was found guilty of forty eight counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Even after the verdict, he continued to insist that he had actually taken sixty lives. He was adamant on this point he said it wouldn't be fair to forget about the other twelve people. Of course he did here at all about those people he didn't even see. Miss Human picturesque, unwanted, wanted credit for every single one of his victims so that he could we live the feeling of power he'd experienced as he killed them. He wanted to beat Andrew Chick Attila, whose fifty two murders had made him a legend. He wanted glory recognition, respect he wanted to go down in history he did not get his wish. As we discussed it's tough to find liable information about much of Peterkins life or detailed records of his crimes. Much of what he

did, is lost to history and picture. can himself is in permanent exile. He was sent to life behind bars and sent to a remote prison deep in the russian mountains.
