Russia's Most Terrifying Serial Killer: The Chessboard Killer | MurderousMinds

- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- When residents of Khersonskaya Street discovered the identity of the Bitsa Park Maniac in 2006, they were shocked. They couldn't comprehend the idea that their neighbour, Alexander Pichushkin, who they described as reserved, sensitive and polite, was a man capable of the murder of over 40 individuals over the span of five years. One neighbour, a 70-year-old woman named Svetlana recalled, "He called me Auntie Sveta. He loved animals and was inconsolable if a pet died. For forty years I lived in the same house as a maniac!"
Pichushkin's mother felt much the same way. She hadn't felt even an inkling that her son was the man that the press was now calling 'The Chessboard Killer.' So who exactly is Alexander Pichushkin? And how did he get away with his crimes for so long? In this documentary, we aim to answer this question, and more, as we explore the life and crimes of Alexander Pichushkin: The Chessboard Killer.

I took screen shots weird 😮
Make a Murderous Minds on Dennis Rader (BTK).
Can u do Anatoly Onoprienko in the future
Have you done a MurderousMinds on Mona Fandey, the Malaysian killer witch? Its a region-locked murder case, though still a pretty interesting and disturbing one
That is so nice and wonderful of you to offer that to people who have little to no money. You and those who help ypu with these videos are so Lind and thoughtful ^^
Serial killers don't simply stop at a particular number of deaths because if they were capable of doing so they most likely would not be serial killers in the first place.
I tend to agree with you I think the only exception would be serial killers who are driven specifically by occultic reasons and they want to end with a specific number to denote completion or something like that but then perhaps they would not be considered serial killers. However, I think serial killers are marked by the fact that they kill more than one person and they do so repeatedly I believe
Yeah. No shit
His goal was to fill a chess board. He would have kept going after that though.
We'll never know but chances are he'd start a new game.
@@icebergrose8955That’s exactly what I was thinking. Once he completed his chessboard, he’d start a new game. And probably a game with a higher number. Gotta top your previous work.
The only reason why he was able to get away with it for so long was because the police let him.
At 15:13 it shows a picture of the Russia woman who reported on the chess guy. This is not the woman. This is Carol Daronch who reported on Ted Bundy.
That was disorienting! I've seen that picture of Carol in a ton of books!
She identifies as that woman. Don’t act like you know!
I’m surprised this guy isn’t more well known. He’s as bad as any serial killer in history
This is way more than netflix worthy
The pregnant woman…. I hate what she has to go through. Everyone failed her and her baby. I hope she got therapy and peace and was eventually reunited with her child
How could he appeal his conviction in 2007 when he wasn't even sentenced until 2008? The Russian police are a total disgrace!
Russia back then before 2008 was mess up economy is fuck , corrpution is anywhere thank to collpase of Soviet .
Once again another mother in blatant denial about who her son really was it happens far too often that parents refuse to acknowledge that their own children are capable of committing the most evil of crimes
Not surprising. No parent would be able to say “yeah I could see that. Makes perfect sense.” Especially when they hide that side of them so well. It’s not like they found him skinning puppies or trying hard to find work killing and butchering livestock. Outwardly he was pretty mild mannered, who would assume??
The first people these sickos learn to hide their true-selves from are their parents.
@@jomckellanless about hiding and more about cognitive dissonance about who your child is. Most parents lie about their kids being successful etc, denial about doing drugs, denial about if their kids are losers/loners etc.
even blatant gang kids with 30 felonies that fight a cop and die the parents are like he was a good kid changing his life around! Like nah bro he was bad kid. I suspect the dissonance is strong because it involves acknowledging failure on behalf of the parents. To say the kid is a bad kid is to admit they failed at parenting.
Yes let's blame the woman for everything a man does as usual
@@grrrrbabyverygrrr8165 Yeah go ahead and switch their places and I’ll blame the oafish man w too much body girth to ever be outta the way sufficiently. And I still wouldn’t be blaming the shooter, now a woman shooter, for accidentally tasing them both at once w a one in a million bounce off shot that she couldn’t do if she tried. Believe it or not, not everything has to do with whatever unimpressive, likely off putting thing you have between your legs. 🤷🏼♂️
this is disturbing. if the police even tried they could have prevented many more murders.
Ok how many people was he allowed to kill before he was even charged and sent to prison this is way beyond incompetence on the part of the cops it was malpractice and negligence basically
This is the law enforcement in Russia. A lot of cops just don’t care, they come for their salaries.
At 14:11 the photo shown is not Maria - it is a survivor of Ted Bundy named Carol DaRonch who testified against him at trial. She is still alive, today.
My grandparents used to live near the Bitza park. I basically grew up knowing the park is not safe due to a famous Bitza maniac... Pretty scary shit.
I used to visit the park only with my grandfather or my parents. The guy is pure evil.
@jamesdavis8542 umm... what?
@@jamesdavis8542 bro it litterally says translaten to english under your comment even youtube doesnt recognize it😂😂
@@jamesdavis8542 yeah you still dont ake sense so 🤣🤣🤣
He was caught in, get this, Sacramento, CA.
I'm from Moscow. Now I'm 35. I was 16 when we were drinking beer with friends in Bitsevsky park (the place where this gyu was doing all the stuff). There was lackage of any information in social media about what is going on, but only after years I realised in what danger we were. I remember that we were hiding from the rain in one of the porches near the place where he lives. I don't remember the details, but I think I saw him personally that day in a street. It was during day time. PS: Freedom to Aleksey Navalny and all political prisoners, freedom to Russia, glry to Urkane. Peace to everyone.
In the 1990s, social media and surveillance cameras were in their infancy. In my journalism class in college, I learned about how this case affected journalism in the US and Russia; every time he would go see one of his sisters in Sacramento, he would kill someone. In both countries, only part of the overseas half was broadcasted live on television. If they didn't have anything to report that day, reporters made something up; a lot of reporters were fired for that. The trial was compared to the trial of Charles Manson in the US because of the media circus it created. That is wild that you lived near where these happened.
I have been patiently awaiting a new murderous minds video!! Love your content, keep up the amazing work!!
This might be the first serial killer case I became aware of, as I kept up with the case through newspapers. It was so shocking and intriguing.
The 2000 elections in the US and Russia were affected. The debates had to be put on hold for two weeks because of the verdict. Wild.
Mulțumim!
Love your videos keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for the upload.
Man I love this series been a huge fan of it for a while now there so much better then what’s being aired on tv I swear. But I have a request you should make one on herb baumeister if you ever heard of him!
Thanks mate for the new video 💯💯💯 keep up the good work 👏 🙌
Top5s❤ thanks for the upload
excellent content and well-made please give more! ty :)
What the f did they teach in the police academy? Who just denies or ignore attacks like that?
Thank You for a new upload! I needed something to keep my mind occupied and off other things.
Top 5s no joke you sound like a really nice guy pal. It’s nice you offer your patrons content for people who can’t afford it. That a nice touch mate. ✌️
I like to watch everything on your channel. I can't afford patreon right now.
Psychopaths never show remorse. It's an emotion they are incapable of. They are basically unable to feel any emotion about anything. That being said, they study human nature. How do most people react to death, sadness, birthdays, childbirth, etc. Whether it is a normal happy or sad reaction, they pay attention to how people normally react & try to mimic the proper emotion when necessary. To a trained eye, they see through the facade.
wow actually posting back catalogue on YT.
you people are crazy awesome.
Seems like the Police only sat up and took notice when one of their own was killed.
thank you
I'm so tired of hearing about people having a hard childhood, so they turn to murder. Weak men make hard times.
Different experiences effect different people, differently. If that makes you feel better to disregard it, go ahead.
@@Henry-yf2npour Early years are highly vital
ALWAYS luv watching new uploads while workin or gettin ready 2 go 2 work! Makes my time go by soooooo much faster which is perfect and exactly what I need when the last thing I wanna b doin is saying “Hi My name Is Jenn and I’ll b ur server today, may I get u started off with something to drink?”. 😂😂😂
The police is so incompetent 😡🤬
it was so interesting love how you tell the storeys
Great video.
Glad you're still making great stuff man. Makes me sad because you inspired me to make videos at creepy place. But I am now quite hollow myself 😭
I read that first as Cheeseburger Killer
Is there gonna be one of the Teacup Poisoner?
WHAT A SURPRISE HIS CHOICE OF ALCOHOL WAS VODKA
Serialkillers are so fascinating.
it seems pretty pointless killing strangers for nothing .
Bloodlust
nah
He killed because he had no other choice bs there's always a choice and he chose the worst possible one and long may he rot in hell
Most peaceful Russian be like
Just in time for my relaxing day off 😤👌🏻
14:24 Makes me think of a particular movie I'm a pretty big fan of 🤔
I'm curious, did he not kill animals? You said he was upset at the death of his dog and cat, this would suggest he didn't want harm coming to innocent animals.
He was very atypical serial killer. No sexual component, no animal torture. There are very good analysis of him by psichiatrists and psychologists but unfortunately in russian. His mother ignored him and his grandfather was key person for him. But his grandfather found a woman, thus less attention.
Am I the only one who finds the photo of the women terrifying yet facinatingly deep?
those guys that went on stabbing homelss people in the park sound scarrier
I know im right at the beginning, but didn't this guy use the sewer tunnels? And didnt he say he only had to kill a few more to reach 100 or something before he was going to stop?
Yea. In Sacramento, there were bodies in the sewer.
Wow Russia??? A poor girl clawed her way out of a well & you still ignored this & told her to be silent? Thought you were all so fing smart over there? Shame on you!!! It's not like this was 50 years ago???
Get a fing noose! IT has the audacity to say that the death penalty is murder that IT does not believe in...And I hope that police force there was fully investigated & culled too! Canada
One thing all these have in common is having severe feelings of loss and bullied horribly for their life.
It shows how mistreatment can affect so many lives, these serial killers probably never would have existed if it hadn't been for the way they had been treated for years. He does have a point, he snapped from trauma. Some people will do this, you never know who will snap, which is a good reason to watch how you treat people.
Oh bullshit!!! That's always the excuse they always give for bleeding heart morons to feel sorry for them!!! EVERYONE suffers loss and abuse on this whole planet!! Not one person escapes LIFE. Everyone has trauma!! They are sick assholes....
I wish you were locked in a room with one so you could hold his hand and talk to them. GTFOH....
For me the most terrifying Russian serial killer is probably Mikhail popkov the cop
The man had those Manson lamps
A pregnant woman who crawled out of a hole and a horrified kid came to the cops about how they almost got murdered and the cops didn't care?! Russia's government really does suck, who does that and just goes on about their life??? What happened to police officers being here to serve and protect??? That's horrendous!
Police? to protect and serve? hahahaahahaha
Is there a netfilx series or a Movie about this serial killer??
Make a Murderous Minds on Dennis Rader (BTK).
I’m from Moscow and people still remember this man with dread. I for instance never go through the park in the dark and alone
with dread? a lot of people remember him very dearly (:
That is insane.
given how methodical he is they could be a foe to Sherlock Holmes
Are you serious??!! They cops were drunk incompetent lazy A holes!!! Joe bribem could of got away with it as incompetent as he is..... geez.... you certainly don't think this guy is a criminal genius do you??
There’s a long blank space of time here during his teen years where there isn’t enough detail presented about this murderers life. The video seems to jump too fast to his murders.
Hey i saw this story on MrBallen :D
1:44 would you really trust someone on trial with those welds
Everything dies around this serial killer.
It all started with Super Mario and Donkey Kong
How did this guy have 80 women right write to him in prison, and got "engage" to one? The f***....
I'd totally write to him if I lived in Russia:(
Did anyone else hear what sounds like "no you can't" at 0:53-0:56? I can't be the only one hearing that
1:46 What did they have Micky Mouse weld the bars?
Please do a video on the Titanic submarine!
No, too soon. That whole situation is so sad. My heart was breaking for the families especially the family of the 19yo. The families should have time to grieve before these shows are made. Just my opinion. 😊
@@jdmccoy1999 I understand that.
The police are at least 50% responsible for this maniac!
a wrestler killed his family and committed suicide and they say it's because of consistent head injuries.
Fifth
he's just adorable
What?
@@Oposistarity what?
A vigilante wouldve killed this guy along time ago
Could he have been borderline or on the spectrum autistic? Serious question
Nice video, BUT I would have focussed more on sightings, with video testimonials. In fact, MY VIDEO shows REALLY Happened moments, recorded live!!!
No... they do just fine on their work. It's funny, I've never heard of yours??
1st
🫢
Pichushkin - "CH" is same "CH" as in english, he is not Pisushkin
It's much better not to show any picture at all rather than to show a fake picture of an entirely different person and pretend that it is the person being discussed at the moment. It feels cheap.
Is it just me or do you sound like you voice ferb from 'Phineas and Ferb'?
All this from a hard bonk to a 4-year-old's head...
I had a couple myself as a boy but thankfully I turned out fine....kind of lol
This is a documentary about the guy, at least pronounce his name correctly! It's PIT-OOSH-KIN! Again...go to google and type in, how to say...etc, job done!
Shut up! On with the show all ready! If you wanted to give back then just post them to RUclips! Instead of telling us to go here or there but if you can't afford their then come here!! How about to just post it all to RUclips where we've been supporting you for years! You are at the point where you don't need our money as you are at a level of stardom that you are making a pretty penny. Asking us for money when we can barely pay our bills just seems crazy to me
You guys still believe in god lol, he knew this would happen to certain people
WHY IN IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU GO OFF WITH SOMEONE YOU THINK IS GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!?????? That is insane......
Those policemen were on the ball huh....
Russia is a pathetic, failed state! Imagine the Police in your country being as incompetent and negligent as the Moscow Police force officers in this case! I’m speechless, how many lives could have been saved had the Police done their job properly?
I mean the Milwaukee police did the same thing with Jeffrey dahmer
Only suitable to terrorize their own people but good for nothing else.
@@RobRamirez456 Yeah exactly, the less said about US Police the better! 🤣🤣
Oh man youve lost so many viewers. :/ how come you have 3+ milion subs and only get like 20k viewers on such a good video?
Its probably been age restricted.
This is what happens when you let your kids live with you for 40 yrs.
Don’t know what’s worse the murderer or them welds on them bars 🥴😂
chiquatillo sounds like mexican food.
