Of all the maniacs who operated in the Soviet era, experts consider Anatoly Nagiyev the most extraordinary. He always acted impudently and spontaneously, possessed such incredible strength that he could break the handcuffs, writes Bigpicture... The fact that the maniac managed to avoid arrest for a long time can only be explained by his incredible luck. Fortunately, the limit of Nagiyev's luck turned out to be exhausted, and the beast suffered a well-deserved punishment. (Caution! The article contains materials that may shock).
Anatoly Guseinovich Nagiyev was born on January 26, 1958 in the city of Angarsk, Irkutsk Region, in the family of a Dagestan and a Kazakh. When Tolik was 5 years old, his family moved to live in the village of Ivnitsa, Kursk region. There, the father left his wife with three children, and the woman had to literally fight for survival.
Anatoly grew up as a difficult child - he was not attracted to study, and the boy resolved all conflicts with the help of fists. Unable to cope with her son, his mother sent him to a boarding school, from where Nagiyev repeatedly escaped. The only hobby in the life of a teenager was sports - Anatoly was seriously involved in weightlifting and gymnastics. Physical fitness gave him the opportunity to emerge victorious from all fights, including with adult rivals.
Sport was not just an outlet in the hopeless life of Nagiyev - he dreamed of becoming a circus artist, famous and well-paid. Outwardly attractive and well-built Anatoly would certainly have been able to achieve his dream, if not for bad inclinations, which he had more than enough by the time he came of age.
Nagiyev early became interested in girls and showed signs of attention to them. But, despite his athletic physique and a pretty face, he was not popular with women. Anatoly blamed his small height (165 cm) for everything, because of which he was often made fun of. Receiving one refusal after another from the girls, the guy fiercely hated all the fairer sex.
Uncertain of himself and embittered with the world, Nagiyev still knew how to win over people and join any company. It was difficult to suspect a charismatic and polite man of something bad - he later used this to commit his terrible crimes.
For the first time Nagiyev broke the law at the age of 17. He raped a vocational school laboratory assistant who rejected his advances. The crime, committed in May 1975, became known only years later, since the victim, intimidated by the rapist, did not turn to the police. Seeing that the crime got away with, Anatoly commits another rape, and he is not reported again. This strengthened the bastard's faith in his own impunity and encouraged him to further crimes.
But the third victim was not a timid one. A former classmate raped by Nagiyev, despite threats, wrote a statement, and the bastard was sentenced to 6 years. Anatoly was sent to one of the colonies of the Komi Republic, where they tried to "lower" him on the very first day. Physically strong and dexterous, he did not allow himself to be offended and arranged a real massacre. After that, Nagiyev, who received the nickname "Rabid", was left alone.
Despite his fierce disposition, prisoner Nagiyev was always polite with the colony employees and implicitly followed their instructions. Therefore (after 4 years of imprisonment), for good behavior, he was transferred from the zone to a settlement in Chikshino - a logging village, where he was given relative freedom.
In 1979, while serving time, Anatoly Nagiyev unexpectedly became a fan of the work of Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who was rapidly gaining popularity. The rapist set himself the goal of winning the singer's favor at any cost, and if it doesn't work out, take her by force. Love for the Prima Donna became a mania for Nagiyev, and it was she who determined the identity of the first bloody victim of a serial killer. For the first time, Nagiyev deprived a person of his life, while serving time for rape. This happened on January 30, 1979 in the city of Pechora, 46 km from the village of Chikshino, where settlers were sometimes allowed to go shopping on weekends.
At the Pechora railway station, Anatoly saw a girl who looked like Pugacheva. Nagiyev met her and, using his charm, asked for a visit. Having received a refusal in intimacy, the psychopath fell into a rage and, grabbing a kitchen knife, inflicted more than 30 blows on his new acquaintance. After that, the maniac abused the body and fled.

The first victim of the maniac Nagiyev
After this incident, Anatoly was in a state of constant fear for a long time - he expected every minute to be arrested. But, after a couple of months, the killer realized that he had gotten away with the crime, and calmed down. In May of the same year, Nagiyev committed his second murder, and again it was associated with the railway.
That time the maniac, in order to get from Chikshino to Pechora, got on the Ukhta-Pechora train, bribing the conductor with a small present. Nagiyev was identified in a compartment in which a woman was traveling - an accountant of the construction and installation department of the city of Sosnogorsk, who was carrying documents to Pechora.
Unfortunately for the fellow traveler, she seemed to Nagiyev similar to Pugachev, and he invited her to have sexual intercourse right on the train. In response, the maniac received not only a refusal, but also a good portion of ridicule, which turned him into a real beast. The killer stabbed the victim twice with a knife and then strangled him with a handkerchief. After that, he performed sexual acts with an already dead body, removed gold earrings and rings from the corpse. Hiding the body of the unfortunate woman in a luggage box under the lower shelf, Nagiyev moved to a nearby carriage, in which he calmly reached Pechora. The woman's body was found only two hours after the train arrived, when they were cleaning the carriage. It was not difficult for the conductor to guess who had committed this murder, but he remained silent, as he was afraid of responsibility for malfeasance.
Experts were able to link the crime in the train carriage and in Pechora - both there and there the killer left traces of sperm on the bodies of the victims. But the investigation did not have any more evidence, so the case turned into another "hangman". Meanwhile, Nagiyev was quietly serving his sentence in the settlement. And in the same 1979, in November, he was released on parole.

After his release, Anatoly returned to Ivnitsa, where he spent his childhood, and got a job as a projectionist. His duties included trips to the villages of the Kursk region with a movie camera and the organization of movie shows in clubs. Such a nomadic lifestyle completely suited the maniac, who could no longer be stopped.
Nagiyev attacked women, raped them, but did not kill them. Investigators found that during 10 months of work as a projectionist, Anatoly raped at least 30 victims. According to some reports, even his own sister was among them. But the touring rapist never forgot about his idol, Alla Pugachev. In 1980, he decided that the time had come and went to the capital to look for the Prima Donna.
Nagiyev followed the Kharkov - Moscow train to the Mother See, as always, without a ticket. He again made an agreement with the guide, whom he pity with the story of a trip to a seriously ill mother. The car was almost empty, so the woman allowed Anatoly to go for a small bribe.
Looking closely at the conductor, Nagiyev once again discovered the woman's resemblance to Alla Borisovna, and this decided her fate. In response to the offer to have sex, Anatoly heard a rude refusal, after which he pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed his victim. At the time of the murder, a second conductor peeped into the compartment, to whom Nagiyev also inflicted several fatal blows.
Leaving lifeless bodies in the conductors' compartment, the monster began to check the carriage to make sure that no one had seen him. In one of the compartments, he found two women, whom he also dealt with. At the end of the carriage, the serial killer found the train crew electrician, but did not touch him.
The man experienced a real shock when a blood-soaked maniac looked into his compartment. But he said: “I slaughter women like chickens, but I don’t touch the peasants,” and went out, carefully closing the door behind him. The electrician locked himself in and spent the next hour, shaking with fear, waiting for the Lunatic to change his mind and return to kill him.

But the maniac was not up to him - he returned to his victims and first of all removed all valuable jewelry from the bodies. Then the killer began to carry the bodies one by one into the vestibule and dump them from the train on the stretch between the stations Steel Horse and Stanovoy Well in the Oryol region.
Having got rid of the bodies, Nagiyev got off at the nearest station, and the frightened electrician was found only in Kursk, when new passengers began to enter the carriage. It was him who tried to accuse the investigators of the murders when they found the bodies of women under the slope. To make their version plausible, they even stained the electrician's boots with blood, but their version quickly fell apart. The foreman of the train saw the illegal passenger and was able to describe his appearance. And Nagiyev got to the capital and began to implement his plan with Pugacheva. According to some reports, the maniac even managed to visit the singer's dressing room, where he made his way with a bouquet of roses under the guise of a passionate admirer. But the pop star was always surrounded by fans and colleagues, so Nagiyev failed to carry out his plans.

Soon he managed to track down Pugacheva at her house and even made his way into her entrance. The maniac's plans were destroyed by the vigilant concierge, who began to ask him questions and threaten with the police. Panicked, Nagiyev fled shamefully. After chatting for a while in the capital, the killer realized that he had better lay low and returned to Ivnica. At home, he reliably hid the valuables taken from the victims, and gave a ring with a diamond to his friend.
He put the jewelry on his finger, but could not remove it and turned to a local jeweler. Since the descriptions of the jewelry had already been sent by the police to workshops and purchases, the master easily recognized the product and reported the visitor to the police. The client was detained, and he immediately told how the valuable thing got to him.
But Nagiyev was gone - only his mother was found at home by operatives. The woman said that her son was going to Dnepropetrovsk to see a friend. Soon they began to look for the maniac in the city on the Dnieper. In one of the notebooks, the killers found the address of Anatoly's passion, as well as the coordinates of Alla Pugacheva with an obscene curse written opposite them.
Police orientation towards Anatoly Nagiyev
On September 12, 1980, a serial killer was arrested in Dnepropetrovsk. The maniac immediately refused to admit his guilt, he was placed in a "press hut". But Besheny's cellmates did not know who they contacted - an attempt to put pressure on Nagiyev cost one of them an eye, and almost made the other disabled.
While the investigation was underway, the maniac was in the pre-trial detention center of the city of Orel, from where he made his first escape. After scattering the guards, the prisoner tore off the handcuffs, knocked out the window and jumped out into the street. Nagiyev fell exactly on the chess table, at which the prison workers whiled away the time. He suffered back injuries and was returned to his cell after treatment.
Soon Anatoly made another attempt to escape - he broke a spoon and stuck it in his stomach. But in the hospital they did not take their eyes off the maniac and the plan of escape from the ward failed. The serial killer was tried in the summer of 1981. The maniac behaved defiantly and pretended to be crazy, but this did not stop the judges from sentencing him to capital punishment. The verdict was to be carried out in the famous prison of Novocherkassk, where the most famous maniacs of the "Rostov Triangle" were shot. But during the transfer, Nagiyev escaped at the Khotunok station and, having riskyly slipped in front of a freight train, broke away from the guards. The head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kursk OVD issued an unspoken order: “If anything, don't take this animal alive! He has already been sentenced to death. If someone is lucky, then bring it to life. "
Studying the connections of the fugitive, the operatives contacted Nagiyev's friend, who lived on the Yanovo farm in the Rostov region. There, in one of the haystacks, a group of capture and found the killer. During the arrest, Nagiyev tried to shoot back from the sawn-off shotgun, but received several bullets and was detained.
Doctors miraculously managed to save the life of a maniac, but only so that the sentence was carried out in accordance with the law. On October 28, 1981, Anatoly Huseynovich Nagiyev, a bloody maniac, who was only 23 years old, was shot.
