The critically acclaimed 1995 HBO crime drama Citizen X follows Soviet investigators as they attempt to apprehend one of Russia's most depraved serial killers. This is the true story behind the film
What episode of "Criminal Minds" did the Rostov Ripper inspire? As a note the Rostov Ripper was predicted by the Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold," when it is mentioned an unidentified serial killer who operated in the Urals was active in the C.E. 1970s.
The Rostov Ripper is an interesting profile. The eating of nipples is to humiliate the victim and also shows an oral fixation and regression, reflecting he grew up hungry and feared his fellow villagers for being cannibals. Since the bullies at his school were also poverty-stricken they bullied him not for being shabby but for being the person who was the dirtiest, and even then the bullying was not because he was dirty but the dirtiness allowed him to be identified as the traitor's son: the traitor's family would have been forced to work the hardest to survive. The eating of genitalia was to humiliate the victims and in the case of the males to emasculate them to show strength over the victims, thus de-emasculating him. Rape is not about sex but power, so him only getting aroused over torture reflects a need for power over his victims, as evidenced by the fact he didn't need to beat his wife to get her pregnant and the fact he got her pregnant means he used aphrodisiacs. The average age when a serial killer first kills something is 13 - they kill cats, a feminine symbol, cats being victims of social cleansing due to being associated with Satan - but it is uncertain when he began his crimes: it is not stated if he committed animal cruelty or arson in the C.E. 1960s. I would assume that due to lacking power he was not able to commit a crime until the C.E. 1960s, and it is possible the thought of committing any crime or even fantasizing about it never crossed his mind until the C.E. 1960s. Due to cats being killed en masse for food in the days of Stalin he would not have had the time to find stray cats, and due to the police state he was not able to commit arson.
He was only able to commit crimes when he was a schoolteacher, and his crimes involved him pretending to be helpful thus preventing authorities from getting him. His mother constantly warned him about his brother in order to protect him, and the Rostov Ripper responded by becoming attached to his mother; this also fits with social cleansing as the Ripper would have considered his victims unworthy of his mother, who he would have held as an ideal. Social cleansing is also why the Soviets did not assume it was a serial killer, as unattended children are considered taboo in society and thus the victims of social cleansing: the Soviets would have also victim-blamed women who they considered stupidly talking to strangers, which was known in C.E. 1978 to allow one to become a victim. Both police states and serial killers engage in social cleansing in the name of both morality and Sadeanism: the police and serial killers desire to have power over their victims who they consider "dirty" and inferior, and a desire for power fits well with ambition, as power is a JOB i.e. politics and business and such. The Ripper becoming a Communist Party member was not just a cover but reflected the fact social cleansing and Sadeanism are linked: of course, it also shows he was a not a Stalinist or neo-Stalinist, being a Ukrainian, but was a democratic centralist although not in the sense of Stalin's stooge Nikita Khrushchev but in the sense of the Soviet leaders Stalin murdered in the C.E. 1930s. His targets were ethnically Russian and seemingly loyal Communists, targeted partially out of revenge for the way the Russians treated his family, the vengeance fitting in with social cleansing and Sadeanism.
As Cluster B psychopaths do not commit crimes out of fear, this implies the shyness was an act used to hide his true nature, although the awkwardness was genuine for obvious reasons: this means he was a Cluster A psychopath with Cluster B traits, or since psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder are conflated, I would think he was a neurotypical man not with Cluster A traits with very few Cluster B traits, but with Cluster A tendencies with very few Cluster B tendencies. The fact all criminals in Russia in those days were executed by shooting shows they give all criminals the deaths of soldiers, the reason being that their crimes are anger against an unjust system: i.e. everyone knows poverty leads to crime.
Citizen X is a fantastic film Steven Rhea Donald Sutherland and the legendary max Von sydow
Back when HBO made good movies Citizen X was a classic.
