Deserted Place: How Maniacs Are Caught in Russia
-
AuthorСаша Сулим
Since the mid-1990s, in the small Siberian city of Angarsk, bodies of murdered and raped women were found almost every month. The search for the person who committed these crimes took more than 15 years — primarily because few people wanted to look for him. The book by journalist Sasha Sulim (Meduza, Redaktsiya) is the story of the bloodiest killer in Russia and the tale of people who professionally searched for, found, and imprisoned serial criminals despite inertia and resistance from the law enforcement system. It answers not only the question of how maniacs are caught in Russia but also why they are often not caught at all.
