Serial Killers: Who were the most shocking?

Rex Curry

A lot of research has been done about murderers and their motives. Much of the research overlooks the fact that the most prolific serial killers were socialists, both as representatives of the government, or as individuals.

As a defense attorney in the criminal courts, I have represented people facing the death penalty for murder in the USA. None of my clients was as murderous as governments and government officials.

The worst mass murderers: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Peoples' Republic of China, and the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The worst socialist killers were never charged, tried, convicted nor executed. Socialists make my worst homicide defendants seem angelic in comparison.

The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was the first to begin. Later, after the National Socialist German Workers' Party slaughtered 21 million people, the same genocidal policies of the monstrous socialists continued under the U.S.S.R. and the P.R.C., resulting in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 milliion under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It gives another meaning to the blood-red flags of socialism.

Socialist killers often worked together. The National Socialist German Workers’ Party began in 1920, gained electoral breakthroughs in 1930, imposed dictatorship in 1933, and in 1939 the National Socialist German Workers Party joined as allies with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to invade Poland in a written pact to divide up Europe, spreading WWII.

Similar to individual murderers, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, one of the worst murderers of all time, denied its guilt and tried to blame the innocent. Soviet socialism did not have serial killers. Serial killers were a product of the decadent and corrupt West. That was the party line.

But one man did more than anyone else to disprove the exculpatory claims of Soviet socialism. That man kept killing for years, partly because of the inherent flaws in the socialist system. The modern world record for serial killing may be held by a product of Soviet Socialism.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics produced the serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, who killed 53 women and children (possibly more) in a prolonged campaign of serial murder spanning 1978 to 1990.

Chikatilo grew up believing that his older brother had been kidnapped and cannibalized during the Ukrainian famine of the early 1930s that was caused by socialism.

Chikatilo mutilated some of his victims by gnawing at them.

Just failing to match Chikatilo's tally was Ukranian Anatoly Onoprienko, who was nicknamed the "terminator" by the police. He confessed to 52 murders.

German Bruno Ludke, who killed at least 80 people, mainly women, began his 15-year killing spree in 1928. Declared insane, he was sent to a Vienna hospital, where experiments were carried out on him until he died by lethal injection in 1944.

Another source claims that under the National Socialist German Workers' Party, Auschwitz executioner Ludwig Tiene strangled, crushed, and gnawed boys and young men to death while he raped them. Though his grand total is uncertain, he often murdered as many as 100 a day.

During World War II, Frenchman Marcel Petiot built a sound-proof home in which he killed up to 63 people. He claimed he was a member of the French Resistance and told his victims (who included Jewish folks and and others escaping from German National Socialists) that he could arrange for a safe passage out of the country for a fee. But after receiving the money, he gave them a lethal injection pretending to give them a "vaccination against foreign diseases." In 1944 police investigated Petiot's home due to the stench of burnt corpses. He was found guilty and died by the guillotine in 1946.

But back to Andrei Chikatilo. Chikatilo's victims were often young women and boys in and around the city of Rostov, near the Black Sea.

Chikatilo's job as a travelling purchaser of raw materials for a Rostov factory meant he claimed victims as far afield as Leningrad and Tashkent. His preferred method was to engage young people in conversation at bus or train stations and lure them to strips of woodland, where he murdered them. This gave him the name of the Forest Strip Killer or Lesopolosa.

Towards the end of his reign of terror he was the subject of a huge manhunt that brought to bear the full weight of the Soviet establishment, which was in the process of collapsing. By the time he was executed in 1994 the Soviet Union had disappeared.

Like so many serial killers in the West, the seeds of his degenerate and violent behaviour can be found in his childhood. His crimes were also intrinsically linked to sexual problems, as was correctly deduced by Aleksander Bukhanovsky, a psychiatrist brought in to draw up an "offender profile" while Chikatilo was on the loose.

Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo was born on 16 October 1936 in Yablochnoye, a village deep in the heart of rural Ukraine. The 1930s were a period of official mass murder under Soviet socialism, and in the Ukraine in particular. Ukraine was the breadbasket of Russia, until socialism arrived under the USSR. Seven million persons perished from 1932-33 in the famine that resulted in Europe’s “breadbasket” after Soviet socialists imposed collectivist land management in the Ukraine. By the spring of 1933, an estimated 25,000 people died every day in the Ukraine. Socialism's curse was so grave that people were driven to cannibalism. http://rexcurry.net/socialism.html

It was the same socialist naivete that resulted in 27 million people starving to death in 1958 in the so-called “Great Leap Forward” in China.

In 1931 Andrei's older brother, Stefan, vanished and his parents believed he might have been kidnapped and eaten by starving and desperate neighbours. The thought of what might have happened to his brother had a terrible psychological effect on young Andrei.

In 1939 the National Socialist German Workers Party joined as allies with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to invade Poland in a written pact to divide up Europe, spreading WWII. But the murderous socialists eventually turned on each other.

When Andrei was only five, Germany National Socialists invaded the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the USSR's Army fled in disarray. It is thought that, as a child, Andrei witnessed or at least heard about atrocities when his village was overrun by troops under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Worse was to follow after the war. His father, Roman, had been captured by the German National Socialists and was only released from a prisoner of war camp in 1945.

He returned to Yablochnoye a broken man and was immediately accused by the Soviet Socialist authorities, as were so many other POWs, of treachery for "allowing himself to be caught" in the first place. Andrei, already a committed socialist, denounced his father's "betrayal" of the motherland, but was still teased and taunted at school because of it.
