Lyudmila Pavlichenko
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko (; 12 July 191610 October 1974) was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, credited with 309 kills. She is regarded as one of the top military snipers of all time and the most successful female sniper in history.
Vladimir Ionesyan
Alevtina Dmitrieva was recognized as an accomplice, although Ionesyan shielded her during interrogations, claiming that she knew nothing about the murders, and even her fault, according to later testimonies of forensics experts, was not proven by the court. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but later in 1972 (or in 1974) she was released early.
In March 2015, a 20-year-old Tajik native named Anusherov Rakhmanov was captured in Moscow, who imitated Ionesyan. Rakhmanov also broke into apartments of Muscovites under the guise of being a gas service worker and exterminated whole families, inflicting stab wounds on people. The investigation suspected him of 7 murders total. He was found hanging on April 2 in his cell at Matrosskaya Tishina, was rescued and taken to hospital, where he died the next day, without regaining consciousness.
