Andrei Yuryevich Kulakov (born October 11 , 1970 , Penza , Penza Oblast , RSFSR , USSR – February 1996 , Penza , Penza Oblast , Russia ) was a Soviet serial killer and rapist . Between 1987 and 1991 he brutally killed four boys and girls. He was sentenced to death and executed by court order in 1996..[1]
Biography
[edit]Andrey Yuryevich Kulakov was born in 1970 in Penza. He spent his childhood and adolescence in a socially disadvantaged environment. Kulakov's parents divorced early and lived in another city, as a result of which his grandmother was engaged in his upbringing and guardianship. He had an adult older brother, who later committed murder of his wife, after which he committed suicide. Kulakov grew up sickly, was withdrawn by nature and was often subjected to physical attacks by his peers. In his teens, he began to practice martial arts and attend a sports shooting section, but did not achieve any particular success or outstanding results in this field. He studied satisfactorily. After finishing 10th grade, he did not pursue higher education and in the fall of 1988 was called up for military service. He adapted to the army with difficulty and was constantly in conflict with his fellow soldiers and the command, which is why he was assigned a medical commission, during which Kulakov was diagnosed with "psychopathy with unstable compensation", and in 1990 he was demobilized. After returning from the army, he got by with odd jobs, often changed jobs, was fired several times for absenteeism and drinking alcohol in the workplace.
First crimes
[edit]Kulakov began to demonstrate a variety of sexual deviations at an early age. In particular, he spied on naked women, had sex with dead animals, and had his first sexual experience with a peer in childhood. He began committing crimes against children at the age of 16. In September 1987, while still a school student, Kulakov asked a young girl to help him carry a heavy backpack during the school day, after which he took her to the restroom and sexually harassed her, but eventually let her go. In November of the same year, Kulakov lured a boy into the restroom under the same pretext and committed lewd acts of a violent nature with him. At first, he remained undetected, but in March 1988, a girl who had escaped rape identified him on the street and Kulakov was arrested. Other episodes of lewd acts remained unsolved at that time. Kulakov managed to avoid actual imprisonment, and was sentenced to one year probation by the Leninsky District Court, and was also registered at the Penza Regional Psychiatric Hospital. Soon after demobilization from the army, he resumed his crimes[2].
On October 9, 1990, Kulakov attempted murder. Near a railway station, he attacked a seven-year-old girl, raped her and tried to strangle her, but for unknown reasons he was unable to complete the crime and fled the scene, having first stolen jewelry and one ruble from the victim. The girl, despite a head injury, survived, but was too shocked to describe the criminal.
Murders
[edit]Kulakov committed all of his murders using the same pattern. Having a number of sexual perversions and suffering from obsessive thoughts about sexual violence against children, Kulakov walked around different areas of the city, choosing preschool children playing in the street without parents as his victims. The child's gender was not important to him. Having identified a victim, Kulakov would start a conversation with them and gain their trust, after which he would lure them to deserted places, where he would kill them with particular cruelty and always have sexual intercourse with the corpse.
He committed his first murder on April 11, 1991. That day, he met a 7-year-old boy on a street in Penza and started a conversation with him. Having gained the child's trust, Kulakov deceived him into going to a construction site at the intersection of Kalinina and Svetly Streets, where he attacked the boy, strangling him and inflicting multiple stab wounds with a knife. He hid the body near an unfinished building.
He committed his next murder a month and a half later. On June 5, Kulakov noticed three children on the street and helped them untangle a skipping rope, after which he offered to go with him to get some candy. One of the children, a nine-year-old girl, agreed and went with Kulakov. In the Manchuria microdistrict, Kulakov attacked her, dragged her into the bushes and brutally killed her with knife wounds.
On June 17, in the courtyard of a residential building, Kulakov watched a 4-year-old boy playing with other children for a long time, and when he was left alone, he approached him and offered to go with him, promising to give him a kitten. Kulakov took the child by public transport to Uritskogo Street, not far from the Penza River embankment, and killed him by strangling and stabbing him.
Kulakov committed his last murder on August 15, 1991. That day, in the middle of work, he went to a friend's house to have a drink, and after leaving, he walked around the city in a state of alcoholic intoxication. This crime was different from the others in its style. This time, Kulakov did not approach a 6-year-old girl he noticed on the street, but decided to stalk her, and when she entered the entrance of her house on Suvorov Street and began to climb the stairs, Kulakov went up after her and asked for water. The girl let him into the apartment, and Kulakov attacked her, throwing her on the bed and stabbing her in the heart. Kulakov then imitated a mercenary motive for the crime, stealing earrings and cigarettes from the home, and disappeared[2].
Arrest and trial
[edit]This time Kulakov made a fatal mistake: in a hurry and being drunk, he forgot his bag with documents at the crime scene, thanks to which he was quickly identified as a serial killer of children and he was arrested a few hours later, after he tried to get home unnoticed after changing his clothes. During the first interrogation, Kulakov denied his guilt and said that on August 15 he drank vodka in a car with a man he did not know and subsequently became very drunk and lost consciousness, and woke up without documents and clothes on the beach. Working on this version, law enforcement officers sent Kulakov for a blood test, which showed that he was not very drunk from strong alcohol that day. After being caught in a lie, Kulakov continued to claim his innocence in the murders, but in the end he could not withstand the psychological pressure and confessed to all episodes. The investigation into the case lasted three years. A forensic psychiatric examination conducted over two months at the Serbsky Institute found Kulakov sane , but he showed signs of moderate organic brain damage, as well as a number of sexual deviations - pedophilia , necrophilia , zoophilia and sadism . Kulakov was very afraid of the death penalty, begged the capital's psychiatrists to leave him in the hospital and test drugs for serious illnesses on him. Ultimately, he appeared in court. The trial opened in 1994. Kulakov's case received great public attention in Penza, the courtroom was full of people, a group of journalists came to the trial. Kulakov was sentenced to the extreme measure of punishment - death by firing squad.
Kulakov spent the last months of his life on death row in Penza's SIZO-1. His cellmate was Yuri Vladimirov, who was sentenced to death for the mass murder of four young children - three girls and one boy (later, Vladimirov's death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment). Kulakov maintained friendly relations with him until his death. In February 1996, Andrei Kulakov was executed [3]. According to other sources, the sentence was carried out a year earlier[4]
