"The first murder scared and confused me, but after the second one I experienced jubilation and joy" (Andrey Chikatilo). A graduate of the Philological faculty of Rostov University with a degree in Russian language and Literature, a modest head teacher at school, chairman of the district committee of physical culture and Sports, a modest family man, selflessly and forever in love with his wife, Andrei Chikatilo would have lived a quiet and inconspicuous life if he had not once succumbed to his passion. For ten years, he killed and raped women and children in Rostov and neighboring regions. Often these crimes remained unsolved, but sometimes innocent people were imprisoned in cases of terrible murders. For a long time, it did not even occur to the investigation that one person could be guilty of all these murders… A lot has been written about the rapist and murderer A.Chikatilo in the mass media of Russia. The value of Pierre Lorrain's book is that it is the view of an outside observer, the opinion and impression of a "person from the outside". The publication is supplemented with an interview of the killer.
