00:00In 1977, Moscow became the epicenter of a horrific crime story, which
00:17kept hidden from public view for almost two decades.
00:23Due to the high censorship of the Soviet era, in addition to certain political interests, only
00:29It would be officially announced in the early 90s, and it was then that the subject
00:36who terrorized Muscovites had a name, Anatoly Viryukov.
00:44Despite the fact that the police carried out one of the largest operations of the time to catch him,
00:50No media outlet dared to spread the news that a murderer was
00:56loose in Moscow, and much of the community only learned of what was happening through
01:02of rumors.
01:04But perhaps the most terrifying thing was that Viryukov's victims were babies just a few months old,
01:12and that he kidnapped them from under the noses of their own parents with alarming ease.
01:18From 1985 to the early 1990s, the former Soviet Union launched a series of
01:39policies to restructure the nation and ensure its permanence.
01:44This reform, known as perestroika, entailed several changes, such as the economic opening
01:53and the closer relationship with the West, although not all of these measures were beneficial,
01:59as social and economic problems increased.
02:05Another policy carried out during this period was glasnost, which ensured transparency.
02:11and freedom of expression of the media.
02:17This meant that thousands of files classified as state secrets were revealed to the
02:23public, revealing that during much of the Stalinist era they were hidden
02:29serious acts of repression.
02:31Hundreds of documents about police investigations related to cases came to light
02:43of serial murders, a phenomenon that had generated international concern since
02:49mid-1970s and which strangely seemed to have no place in the former Soviet Union.
02:55For decades, several Soviet leaders insisted that such criminals
03:04could only proliferate in capitalist societies, but they were wrong or simply lying.
03:12The same citizens knew through word of mouth that from time to time they were reported
03:19mysterious disappearances in some towns and that these people were never seen again
03:25views with life.
03:29They were also aware that in certain cases, the police arrested individuals, called
03:35vulgarly referred to as maniacs, who admitted to dozens of horrendous crimes and who did not last
03:41too long behind bars, as they were quickly executed.
03:48Spreading this type of news through traditional media was strictly prohibited.
03:54banned, but glasnost changed everything, and it was then that both the Soviets and
04:00the rest of the world were able to know the truth.
04:06In this regard, it was the Chikatilo case that caused the greatest impact.
04:11Andrei Chikatilo was arrested in early 1990 and charged with 56 murders, after
04:21that the Rostov police even requested advice from the FBI in the United States itself.
04:27United, something unthinkable in previous years.
04:31However, Chikatilo would only be the tip of the iceberg, as the number of murderers in
04:39Soviet series proved disconcerting.
04:44Little by little, documents were released about other monstrous criminals, who were rampant in
04:50throughout the former Soviet Union in past decades.
04:54One of them was Anatoly Viryukov, the baby hunter, probably one of the criminals
05:03most depraved and disgusting of the entire Soviet era.
05:09It all began on the evening of September 16, 1977, in the Chukino district of Moscow,
05:17when the neighbors of a building located on Marshal Viryuzov Street called in horror
05:23to the police.
05:25On a landing, between the stairs of the third and fourth floors, a woman had found
05:32a baby of just a few months old, dying under the lower part of a window.
05:39When officers arrived at the scene, the girl was already dead.
05:45Her killer had ripped off her diapers and cut open her stomach with a huge knife.
05:53Later examinations showed that he died due to hemorrhage.
05:59The entire area was immediately searched, and outside the building a
06:05an abandoned baby carriage.
06:07Although several neighbors approached the place to give their testimonies, none seemed
06:15have seen or heard anything suspicious.
06:18The horrendous crime caused a huge stir in the police department, and while
06:26Dozens of agents were preparing to go out in search of the killer through the streets of Moscow,
06:31A woman identified as Angela Denisyuk appeared before officers to report
06:37the disappearance of her daughter, a three-month-old baby named Natasha.
06:42According to Angela, that afternoon she had gone out with the girl in her stroller,
06:51and left her outside a dairy located right on Marshal Biryuzov Street,
06:57while doing some shopping.
07:01The woman said it only took a couple of minutes, but as she left the store she noticed
07:06that his daughter and the car had disappeared.
07:09By the mid-1970s, baby strollers had become extremely popular,
07:18and were relatively affordable for middle-class Soviet families.
07:25Seeing a newborn inside a car, parked near a store or park,
07:31As long as his parents were relatively close, it was not unusual, although today it might
07:38be considered negligence.
07:42After taking Angela Denise Duke's statement, one of the detectives was forced to inform her
07:48that very close to the place where his daughter had been kidnapped, the body of a baby had been found
07:56which matched his description.
07:58The woman seemed paralyzed after receiving the news, and could not put words together,
08:07However, several officers noticed that he had displayed strange behavior,
08:12from the moment he entered the police station.
08:16Apparently, Angela initially made the complaint in a low and relatively calm voice.
08:24Many of the more veteran officers knew from experience that when a mother arrived
08:32to the police department, to report the disappearance of a child, they did it in a way
08:37desperate, shouting and arguing, so the young woman's testimony aroused some
08:43distrust.
08:45On the other hand, a crime of this nature seemed to make no sense at all.
08:54The question the researchers were asking was why someone would want to kill a baby.
09:00only 3 months old.
09:02Once authorities confirmed that the victim was indeed Natasha Denysjuk,
09:11Both Angela and her husband, a subject identified as Nicolai, became the main
09:18suspects, and the investigation focused on them.
09:23They were a young couple, and Natasha was their only daughter.
09:28When the house was raided, it was proven that they lived in a clean and well-maintained property,
09:36and their neighbors described them as a normal family.
09:41The autopsy of the minor also showed that she had no signs of previous abuse.
09:48to crime.
09:50She was well fed, perfumed, and dressed in clean clothes.
09:56Later the police began to consider the possibility that the couple was
10:03involved with the mafia, and that the murder of his daughter was part of revenge, but
10:09There was no evidence that Angela or Nicolai were involved in any illegal activities.
10:15Detectives continued to question the woman, who was detained for
10:22three days denying the accusations.
10:25However, a new complaint convinced them that their suspicions were unfounded.
10:31On September 19, another young woman, identified as Gulsigan Ananyeva, went to the police.
10:40to report the kidnapping of her three-month-old daughter, Julia.
10:47According to the woman, she was buying some items at the children's store in Esquimir,
10:53on Prospect Mira Avenue, when he left the car in which he was driving his child unattended
10:59daughter for a couple of minutes.
11:02When we returned, the car and the baby had disappeared.
11:09Several officers searched the area, and a few blocks away, on Bolshaya Avenue
11:16Sadovaya, they found the car and some of her clothes, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
11:22part.
11:25The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Leonid Bresnev, was
11:31aware of the horrendous murder of Natasha Denyshuk, and had given a deadline of three days
11:37to solve the case.
11:39When the police learned of Julia Anangeva's disappearance, in similar circumstances,
11:47And just when the deadline given by Bresnev had expired, panic spread.
11:52among the authorities.
11:56A huge operation was immediately carried out, including the control of roads and highways,
12:03massive raids and surveillance in various parts of the city.
12:06Hundreds of undercover agents were positioned outside commercial premises, in parks
12:14children and bus stations, and although some suspects were questioned, the investigation
12:20did not prosper.
12:24Several search operations were also carried out to find the whereabouts of Julia Anangeva,
12:29However, the chances of finding her alive were practically zero.
12:36Almost a month later, a six-month-old baby was snatched from his grandmother's arms.
12:42when she was walking with him along a Moscow street.
12:47Although the old woman alerted a couple of passersby to help her, they could not.
12:53find the kidnapper.
12:54The woman's testimony was also of no help, as she could only describe the subject.
13:02like a robust man, wearing a plaid shirt, gray pants and a dark cap.
13:10The identity of the minor would not be revealed in official documents, but his body
13:16would be found a few days later in a wooded area.
13:21The forensic experts concluded that the cause of death was due to internal damage.
13:29caused by the abuse of which he had been a victim.
13:34The impact and horror that this unexpected revelation produced in the agents involved in
13:40the case was enormous.
13:42If killing babies was already twisted and cruel, abusing them was
13:51even more aberrant.
13:54The situation became even more complex when in the following days, two more
14:00Three-month-old babies were kidnapped and murdered in Chehov, a nearby town
14:07to Moscow.
14:09According to forensic records, both died as a result of the abuse to which they were subjected.
14:18While it is true that during this period, the former Soviet Union suffered exactly
14:23from the same problem as the United States with the proliferation of serial killers,
14:29The big difference was that there, this type of news was covered by various media
14:35communication, arousing enormous interest throughout the country.
14:41And although some journalists flirted dangerously with sensationalism, giving away
14:47grotesque details of each crime, at least the population was aware of the danger that
14:53They ran, while a killer of these characteristics was active.
14:58People were much more careful, they would preemptively call the police if they suspected something was wrong.
15:06of some individual, they avoided getting into vehicles with strangers, and even patrolled their
15:13neighborhoods regularly, to make sure everything was in order.
15:17Stories about a ruthless baby killer in Moscow only spread through
15:25by word of mouth, although it was far from being a topic of discussion among citizens.
15:33In the end, it was just rumors, and no authority or media outlet
15:39had referred to the subject.
15:43Omitting such information clearly favored the actions of the murderer, who continued searching
15:50women who were unaware of the terrible danger their children were in were being paraded through the streets, although
15:56seen was clever enough to change location and commit two crimes in Chekhov,
16:03when Moscow was filled with undercover police.
16:06On October 17, the body of Yulia Ananjeva, the second baby who was kidnapped, was finally found.
16:16would be found in a landfill in the capital.
16:21Again forensic examinations confirmed that she was a victim of abuse, although her death
16:26It was due to a severe brain contusion.
16:29Four days later, on October 21, Valentina Mamógina approached a store
16:38from the capital, with his three-month-old daughter Natacha, inside his car.
16:45He left her outside the store while he made a couple of purchases, but when the girl came out
16:51and the car had disappeared. The woman began to scream and called for help from passersby,
17:00until one of them claimed to have seen a man with a baby stroller, walking
17:05less than a block away.
17:09Several people went after him and were able to locate him, but he quickly went inside.
17:15in a search area and they lost track of him. The only thing he left behind was a hat
17:24dark that fell after the chase.
17:29After several minutes of searching, the car and the baby were finally found in the back.
17:35back of the store where she had been kidnapped, hidden in a service staircase
17:41which led to a basement. Fortunately, Natacha was unharmed.
17:50The police were alerted to the incident and witnesses were able to describe in detail
17:57the suspect. He was a man between 30 and 40 years old, with dark hair, height
18:06average height and overweight. His cap had fallen off while he was fleeing from his pursuers, so
18:14that there was also that track. But the most distinctive feature was that it had
18:22a huge, deep scar on his left cheek, extending from his chin
18:28up to 100. Although some sources claim that thanks to this description it was made
18:37an identikit and the criminal could be identified by his coworkers, the truth is
18:43that neither the authorities nor any media outlet spread the news and therefore no one knew
18:50not even that the police were after a serial killer.
18:56The program called The Investigation was carried out, hosted by the Soviet actor Leonid
19:03Kanewski interviewed Valentina Mamóginas and she explained that after making the complaint,
19:10The incident left her extremely uneasy. She knew that a man with such a large scar
19:18on the face, it should be easy to identify, but I was afraid that the police would not take it seriously
19:25her complaint. It was then that she decided to go around herself, commercial premises, playgrounds,
19:35bus stops and nearby hospitals, hoping to find the man who had
19:40tried to take his daughter Natacha. Three days later, on October 24,
19:48He approached the same children's goods store where his daughter was about to
19:54of being kidnapped. The place was frequented daily by young mothers who took their
20:02their children inside their cars. Valentina assumed that if that man was interested
20:09in kidnapping babies, there was a chance that he was lurking in the area, and no
20:15She was wrong. Seeing him through a display case, the woman made a fuss, and several passersby
20:24They held the suspect down until the police arrived. The subject would be identified as
20:32Anatoly Viryukov, a 38-year-old mechanic and father of two daughters. To the surprise of the
20:41agents, after being questioned, had no problem admitting that at the time of his arrest,
20:48was looking for a new victim, and was responsible for the kidnappings and
20:54baby murders that had Moscow authorities on tenterhooks. The frankness of
21:01Viryukov raised some doubts among the detectives. If it was proven that he was the author of
21:09the crimes, he would surely be shot, however he seemed to be calm, and limited himself
21:16to say that he abused the children because his wife refused to have sexual relations
21:23with him. Anatoly Nikolaevich Viryukov was born on February 18, 1939 in the village of Lopaznia,
21:34which in 1957 was renamed Chehov, in the Moscow Oblast. In the early years
21:43life had a normal childhood. His family was loving, wealthy, and he attended one of
21:52the best schools in Moscow. Anatoly's father, Nikolai Viryukov, was a lieutenant general who had
22:01an outstanding participation in the Second World War, fighting against Nazi Germany in
22:07Smolensk and Stalingrad. In 1945 he was appointed commander of the Third Front Regiment.
22:16Ukrainian, and was also awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. All these awards had earned him
22:25sought a prosperous lifestyle with his wife and son, however a tragedy ruined
22:33The peaceful life of the Viryukov family. When Anatoly was eight years old, he took a box of cartridges
22:42that his father kept on a nightstand, and tried to extract the gunpowder by cutting them in half with
22:48a saw, intending to make a homemade bomb. This produced a huge explosion,
22:57and the child suffered severe burns to his face, chest and hands, as well as a deep
23:04wound on his left cheek. Anatoly's parents decided to treat the boy at home,
23:12because the incident could not only be described as gross negligence on the part of some
23:18Soviet leaders, and deprive them of all their privileges, but they could even be shot.
23:27Almost a week after the accident, the Viryukov family finally showed up at a center
23:34assistance, where they assured that the boy had burned himself, when a pot of soup
23:40boiling water fell on him. From then on, Nicolai developed a great sense of guilt.
23:51A few months before the accident, he himself had begun to teach his son how to use weapons.
23:57of fire, with the hope that in the future he would become a soldier.
24:04Although he was concerned about him and tried to maintain a good relationship, looking at his face reminded him
24:10who had a large part of responsibility for what had happened to him, and little by little they began to
24:16distance.
24:17On the other hand, the child began to have several problems at school, because his classmates
24:25class made fun of him, and constantly bullied him because of his appearance.
24:32He became taciturn, silent, had no friends, and was absent from classes for weeks at a time.
24:40The scars on his body seriously diminished his self-esteem, and during his adolescence he went through
24:48much of the time alone at home.
24:52Despite the traumatic experience, Nicolai hoped that his son would enter the
24:58military school after finishing his studies, but Anatoly refused to follow in the footsteps of
25:04his father, and decided to become a mechanic.
25:07In later years, Anatoly Viryukov married a young woman, they had two daughters,
25:16and settled in a Moscow company, where he was considered a responsible employee
25:22and highly trained.
25:25He had an excellent relationship with his coworkers, who described him as a person
25:32normal, calm and polite.
25:34However, in 1971, at the age of 32, Viryukov was arrested for attempting to take
25:44a baby a few months old, from outside a children's clinic.
25:50The same mother saw when the man took the car and tried to flee with it, but fortunately
25:57He was able to alert a couple of people who stopped him.
26:02In front of the officers who interrogated him, Viryukov appeared calm, and stated that he had only
26:08tried to play a cruel joke on her, and teach the woman a lesson for neglecting her child
26:15in a public space.
26:16He was eventually released, and only had to pay a small fine.
26:26Six months later, in 1972, he would be arrested again after trying to kidnap another baby.
26:35with the same modus operandi.
26:37This time he claimed that he thought the car was empty, and that his intention was to steal it.
26:45to then sell it.
26:48Official documents indicate that after this crime, he was sentenced to three years
26:54from jail.
26:56However, Viryukov had no criminal record when he was arrested for the murders.
27:02in 1977.
27:03There is no source to confirm this, but it is very likely that he was not imprisoned at that time.
27:11moment, due to the national hero status that his father had.
27:17Although the authorities made several mistakes in the Viryukov case, the fact is that
27:23His crimes and the profile of his victims were unusual.
27:28After being sent to the Sersky Institute in Moscow for evaluation, specialists concluded
27:36that Viryukov's behavior did not fit that of a simple pedophile, but rather that of
27:42of a nepheophilic, a term that is not widely used in psychiatry, but is in
27:49certain academic circles.
27:51Nepeophilia is explained as the attraction of an adult towards a child between 0 and 6 years old.
28:02Because in this age range, the physical differences between boys and girls are less noticeable,
28:09and even have androgynous features during the first months.
28:13Generally, the nepeophilic does not have a specific preference between the male and female sex.
28:22This would explain why Viryukov made no distinction when attacking his victims,
28:28just like in the case of his compatriot, the serial killer Vladimir Vinichevsky.
28:34Viryukov's ex-wife told investigators that her husband began to exhibit strange behavior,
28:43after they had their second daughter, and avoided leaving her alone with him.
28:50The relationship between the two had deteriorated, they did not have sexual relations, and when in 1972
28:58He was accused of stealing a stroller, moved in with his mother, and immediately filed for divorce.
29:08Viryukov explained to psychologists that his ex-wife refused to have sexual relations with him,
29:15and that because of this he tried to convince a teenager to become his lover,
29:21but she rejected it.
29:23It was then that he supposedly began to feel attraction to newborns,
29:31and he even considered abusing his own daughter, but that seemed too risky.
29:39His perverse fantasies continued for years, until in 1971 he tried for the first time to kidnap a minor,
29:49although he was arrested by the police.
29:53He would try again in 1972, but was also unsuccessful.
30:01In 1977 he managed to kidnap Natasha Dennis-Juke, and took her to the stairs of a building to abuse her,
30:10However, he heard noises on the upper floor, and realized that he could be discovered.
30:16Before fleeing, he took out a huge knife that he had in his clothes and stabbed her, causing her death.
30:26Three days later, he kidnapped, raped and murdered Yulia Nanyeva, and then dumped her body in a garbage dumpster.
30:37Viryukov had finally fulfilled his dark fantasy, but he was not satisfied and struck again,
30:55This time a six-month-old child, whom he beat to death.
31:02At that time the entire Moscow police force was focused on solving the case,
31:08Although the media had to be governed by the censorship of the Soviet high command,
31:14and very few citizens were aware of what was really happening.
31:18In fact, Viryukov was able to witness, right in front of him and in the middle of the street,
31:26as a couple of officers were interrogating a man pushing a baby stroller,
31:30and only then did he realize that the authorities were on his trail.
31:36It is for this reason that the other two murders were carried out in Chehov, his hometown.
31:44The specialists concluded that Viryukov was an intelligent subject and fully aware of his actions,
31:53but he had such low self-esteem, due to the scars on his face and his overall physical appearance,
32:00who felt incapable of conquering a woman,
32:03although that did not explain, much less justify, the atrocities he had committed.
32:09His victims were weak and defenseless, unable to defend themselves or even report him.
32:20And although Viryukov only claimed to feel a sexual attraction to them,
32:25He ended up killing them because death was possibly,
32:29was also part of that sadistic fantasy.
32:32Although Viryukov's father hired one of Moscow's best lawyers,
32:40Well, at first I thought he wasn't guilty,
32:43After hearing his son's statements, he decided to abandon him to his fate.
32:49In 1978, Anatoly Viryukov would be found guilty of five murders,
32:56and sentenced to death by firing squad.
32:59Although he sent several letters of clemency to various Soviet authorities,
33:06received no response.
33:10He also attempted suicide on repeated occasions,
33:14but he didn't succeed.
33:17Apparently, Viryukov believed that the authorities would not dare to sentence him to death,
33:24because he was the son of a war hero,
33:26but he was wrong.
33:29He would finally be executed on February 24, 1979.
33:37His father, Nikolai Viryukov,
