Notorious child molester and Soviet soap opera killer Anatoly Slivko has been convicted for the deaths of seven boys – a series of deaths that spans 22 years around the second half of the twentieth century. It was also revealed that he molested at least 43 boy members of his club, Chergid. Slivko’s tactic was to convince the boys to participate in his experiments which often ended in their death. Moreso, his position at the head of the Chergid club allowed him to carry out his plans without suspicion.
His separate act involved getting all of his victims dressed in the Young Pioneers uniform with their shoes polished. His next step was to bring them into a state of unconsciousness through controlled hanging and to strip and fondle them while they were unconscious. He also kept records of most of these events through videos and pictures. Although the number of victims he assaulted stands at 43, he only maintains a record
of 36 and also saved the uniforms and shoes he used on them as keepsakes. This is how it all started for the serial killer.
The biography of Anatoly Slivko
The Soviet serial killer was born with full name Anatoly Yemelianovich Slivko on December 28, 1938 and his birthplace is Izberbash Dagestan ASSR, Soviet Union. At birth, Slivko had a severe case of hydrocephalus, i.e. water on the brain, which caused many problems in the genital and urinary tracts, including erectile dysfunction in adolescence and infantile enuresis. Additionally, growing up, he struggled with insomnia and had difficulty eating, which contributed to his emaciated state.
We also realized that during the formation of Slivkoans, his father was imprisoned as a soldier during the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, but then returned home to face many ridicule for his alleged cowardice. All these problems isolated Anatoly from the activities of his peers when he was a child, because he was really ashamed.
It was also revealed that Anatoly Slivko did not pass his entrance exam to Moscow State University and had to participate in national service for some time. He was later hired as a telephone engineer when he finally moved to Stavropol in Rostov Oblast in 1960. The serial killer established himself as a respectable figure in the community, becoming something of a local celebrity for his amateur documentaries focusing on the atrocities committed by the Germans during the Second World War.
It’s not easy to decipher when he became a kids’ club operator, but in 1966 Anatoly Slivko had started a club, Chergid, when his first club was gutted by fire.
The Life and Crimes of the Soviet Serial Killer
Anatoly Slivko was just 23 in 1961 when he got into an accident where a teenager wearing a Young Pioneers uniform was fatally injured by a drunk biker. According to him, he had become sexually aroused over the gasoline and fire that permeated the surroundings as the maimed boy convulsed to death.
A few years later, he began to exploit his position as the leader of a children’s club to entice teenagers into participating in his fake experiment which he performs by stretching their rotation using a controlled suspension that throws them in unconsciousness. As Slivko saw in the traffic accident, he dresses his subjects in the Young Pioneers uniform with well-shined shoes and convinces them to abstain from food to prevent vomiting.
When he succeeds in rendering them unconscious, he proceeds to strip his victims naked and satisfy their sexual urges through masturbation. In 36 cases, Anatoly Slivko recorded the events on video and images to occupy himself until his next victim showed up. Within 22 years, the number of his victims stood at 43, seven of whom died, but others resumed their normal lives when they regained consciousness, unaware of what had happened.
The pedophile often kept his shoes and uniform as a souvenir. It is also known that Anatoly Slivko dismembered the bodies of the seven deceased people and burned them with gasoline.
Nikolai Dobryshev was his first victim. Murdered on June 2, 1964, the pedophile the following year stumbled upon another victim, Aleksei Kovalenko, and finally killed him as the first in May 1965. His third victim, Aleksander Nesmeyanov, came after 15 years on November 14, 1973. The fourth victim was Andrei Pogasyan, aged 11, who disappeared on May 11, 1975. Sergei Fatsiev, aged 13, became his fifth victim and Vyacheslav.
Khovistik whom he assassinated in 1982 was the 6th. He killed his seventh and final victim, Sergei Pavlov, on July 23, 1885.
His wife and children
The pedophile married a woman named Lyudmila and had two sons, despite claiming he never experienced sexual satisfaction or even arousal during his marriage.
