The Phenomenon of Russian Maniacs. The First Large-Scale Study of Maniacs and Serial Killers During the Tsarist Era, the USSR, and the RF

The phenomenon of Russian maniacs. The first large-scale study of maniacs and serial killers during the Tsarist era, the USSR, and the RF. An innovative study covering a wide range of topics on the psychology, motivation, and pathology of serial... killers and maniacs! Written by crime journalist Irina Kapitanova and historian journalist Antoine Kass, this phenomenal book explains how social, cultural, and political factors can influence the number and style of crimes. Relying on archival materials from museums, personal files of killers, interrogation records, and interviews with well-known criminologists, psychiatrists, former and current law enforcement officers who personally participated in capturing criminals, the authors draw parallels between Western and Russian killers.
