ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For twelve years, Citizen X had been a ghost, haunting the railway lines and forest strips of the USSR. The state insisted that serial killers were a "capitalist disease" that didn't exist in their perfect society, and that denial gave Andrei Chikatilo exactly what he needed: a license to kill over fifty people while the world looked the other way. Today, we’re peeling back the iron curtain to look at the real Citizen X—the Rostov Ripper.
Some content is graphic in nature, and listener discretion is advised. Each episode is created with deep respect for the victims, their families, and their loved ones.
