Chikatilo. The Appearance of the Beast

In the mid-1980s, a series of horrific murders takes place in Novocherkassk and its surroundings. The local police are powerless. They search for a dangerous criminal—a repeat offender—but nobody even wants to think that the killer could be the most ordinary person, their neighbor. Chikatilo’s astonishing ability to mimic others made him indistinguishable from millions of Soviet citizens. He lived in society and satisfied his perverse sexual fantasies by destroying the most precious thing this society had—children.

This book tells the story of the double life of the most famous Soviet maniac, Andrey Chikatilo, along with the investigation of his crimes that became the basis for the exclusive series “Chikatilo” on the Okko multimedia service.
