"The Red Ripper: Inside the Mind of Russia’s Most Monstrous Serial Killer"
He was the USSR’s answer to Jack the Ripper — but even that comparison feels tame. Andrei Chikatilo, known as The Red Ripper, brutally murdered at least 52 victims, often children, over a terrifying 12-year rampage that exposed the Soviet Union’s deepest failings. In this disturbing episode, we dive into rare interviews, chilling trial tapes, and the failed investigations that let a predator thrive under the radar.
How did one of the world’s most psychotic serial killers operate in a communist regime that denied his very existence? What psychological fractures fueled his killing machine? And why did the state let him roam free for so long?
This isn’t just a case file. It’s a descent into Hell, Soviet-style. Raw, unfiltered, and haunting.
