About this listen

He was a teacher, a father—and a predator who haunted the USSR.

Between 1978 and 1990, Andrei Chikatilo terrorized the Soviet Union with a series of brutal, sexually sadistic murders. Operating in an era of state secrecy, his crimes went undetected for years as innocent men were blamed, files were buried, and authorities denied the existence of serial killers.

The Soviet Monster is the definitive account of Chikatilo’s life, crimes, and the political climate that enabled him. True crime author David G. Stone unpacks the harrowing details of:

  • Chikatilo’s traumatic upbringing and twisted psyche
  • The grotesque methods and patterns of his killings
  • The bureaucratic failures that prolonged his reign of terror
  • The psychological profiling and dogged detective work that finally caught him
  • His disturbing courtroom confessions—and ultimate execution

This book is a disturbing, unforgettable journey into a mind warped by trauma—and a system that refused to see the truth.
