“Child 44”, a major motion picture in theaters now, is based on the true story of Andrei Chikatilo, one of the deadliest and most savage serial killers in history.
Over fifty girls, boys, and young women were killed, mutilated, and in some cases even cannibalized in the city of Rostov-on-Don in Russia. One man was responsible Comrade Chikatilo. He lured his victims with his easygoing manner and promises of food. With children, his offer of chewing gum was enough to convince them to follow him to their tragic end.
Written by two Russian insiders, “Comrade Chikatilo” is the definitive story of the serial killer. As local journalists, Krivich and Olgin were able to get inside the Russian criminal justice system to get a close look at the investigation, provide complete coverage of the trial, and even interview the killer himself.
A gripping true crime story. An insightful and fascinating look at one of history’s most terrifying serial killers.

Not particularly well-written, could have used a better editor and/or translation. Gives rather superficial treatment to all parties: killer, victims, and investigators. Less than 300 pages, and the font is gigantic. Despite the title, doesn't give much detailed professional/clinical insight into what was in the killer's head. Disappointing.Product details

Comrade Chikatilo The Psychopathology of Russia Notorious Serial Killer eBook Mikhail Krivich Olgert Ol'Gin Reviews
This book is mind boggling! Comrade Chikatilo makes Ted Bundy (and other American serial killers) look tame. The psychology of this serial killer is clear to the reader, and the book includes excellent historical information pertaining to the 1980s in Russia. Excellent read.
Chikatilo's story is an interesting and provocative one. At its best, this book shows how a Soviet era sociopath is able to exploit his political affiliations with the communist party to act out his sadistic urges repeatedly over decades. At its worst, the writing is flat, clumsy and clichéd.
Kind of disjointed but interesting. At times, overly descriptive, at others too summary. The subject matter, while extremely disturbing, is also compelling.
I loved this book. Obviously you know the subject matter before you begin. This was an excellent version of events. Characters are well developed and you get a feel for the times and your surroundings. Highly recommended if you like the genre.
Like every other reviewer has said, this is a book not for the faint of heart or anyone with a weak stomach. This book is gruesome. The first chapter alone made me put this down for a month, it was so disturbing.
Aside from the truly awful passages describing what Chikatilo did to his victims, this is also a story about how the Russian government repeatedly fouled up the investigation into the serial killer. There were too many incidents where Chikatilo ought to have been caught; instead, the police narrowly focused on other potential offenders, completely missing what was under their noses, either through incompetence or political pressure.
Chikatilo himself is an odd man to get a grip on. He managed to maintain a semblence of normality with his wife and children, yet he was clearly very disturbed with dubious mental health. Much has been made of the evidence that he suffered from a sort of birth defect (in pictures, you can't help but notice the extremely flat back of his head) that may have contributed to his ability to disassociate himself from the horror of what he did to his victims. A small section of photographs is dedicated to pictures of his victims (while they were alive), one of the scene where a victim was found, the parents of the murdered children and the train station where Chikatilo picked up many of children he killed. There are also a couple of goosebump-raising images of the killer himself showing policemen the positioning of his victims using a dummy.
I'm a fan of true crime books, especially the ones that are fortunate enough to have the killer alive and willing to be studied. Chikatilo showed a remarkable willingness to talk extensively about his crimes. The book finishes with the bizarre courtroom drama of Chikatilo's trial, where he was actually caged and put on a show of incomprehensible ravings that brought into question his mental state and competence to stand trial. In our American justice system, someone like Chikatilo would most likely have not been competent to stand trial and would likely have been shipped off to a mental health facility to await the continuation of his trial.
Russian law is less nuanced than ours, and the judge allowed the trial to continue until the ultimate verdict which is likely to be appealed. At the time, Boris Yeltsin was still in power and unlikely to grant any sort of appeal. With Medvedev as President now, with the rumored influence of former President Putin, it's probably even less likely that any appeal will be granted.
While not as graphically disturbing as this book, for fans of this genre I recommend the story of Richard Kuklinsky, The Ice Man Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer
Well, yes, I thought it would take longer to read this volume, but it's just shy of 300 pages. The book ends with Andrei sitting in jail. I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't more "analysis" of his behavior, hence only 4-stars.
A sickening person revealed in a sickening story. The Russian judicial system is horrible. But, they finally caught him, tho' his life wasn't worth even a fraction of one of the 53 people he killed. A good read, but pretty graphic.
Not particularly well-written, could have used a better editor and/or translation. Gives rather superficial treatment to all parties killer, victims, and investigators. Less than 300 pages, and the font is gigantic. Despite the title, doesn't give much detailed professional/clinical insight into what was in the killer's head. Disappointing.
