Anatoly Nagiyev  Anatoly Guseinovich Nagiyev (born January 26, 1958 - October 28, 1981) was a Soviet serial killer and mass murderer, nicknamed "The Mad One", who killed at least 6 women with severe cruelty between 1979 and 1980. He also raped at least 30 women over the same period of time and pursued famous Soviet singer Alla Pugacheva in attempt to kill her. Nagiyev was born on January 26, 1958 in Angarsk in a family from Dagestan, or according to other sources, they were Ingush or Kazakhs. Subsequently, the family with three children moved to the Kursk Oblast and settled in the city of Sudzha. Nagiyev actively engaged in sports, primarily athletic gymnastics, but was very aggressive since childhood. He had problems with girls, with some claiming they did not pay attention to him due to his small height of 1,57 meters. Between May and June 1975 he committed 3 rapes, and was sentenced to 6 years in prison, which he served in the Komi ASSR. In 1978, he was released on parole for his good behaviour. After his release he worked in the village of Chikshino in the Pechora region of the Komi ASSR. On January 30, 1979, in the city of Pechora, he raped and killed an accidental acquaintance named Olga Demyanenko in her apartment. On May 28, he raped and killed a train passenger named Daria Kravchenko, who was going to Pechora, taking advantage of the fact that the car was almost empty. The body was hidden in the luggage compartment under the seats. According to some accounts, the victim was killed because she resembled Alla Pugacheva. Nagiyev soon returned to Kursk, where he got a job as a projectionist of a mobile cinema installation. The working conditions allowed him to spend a lot of time outside his permanent home. On July 4, 1980, in a half-empty car on the train "Moscow-Kharkiv", he raped and killed 4 women - two conductors (Derevyanko and Zizyulina) and two passengers (Maria Lopatkina and Tatiana Kolesnikova). The victims' bodies were then thrown out of the window in the Oryol area between the stations "Stalnoi Kon" and "Stanovoi Kolodez". In addition, from November 1979 to September 1980, he committed more than 30 rapes in various settlements of the USSR.
