Humanity’s morbid fascination with Mango Mussolini’s depraved sex antics isn’t abating, despite frantic efforts by his fascist helpers.

Soviet police Col. Mikhail Fetisov and Lt. Viktor Burakov were portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Stephen Rea in Citizen X

Burakov, Fetisov, and their subordinates eventually caught Ukrainian-born Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, But the "Butcher of Rostov" had sexually assaulted, murdered, and mutilated at least fifty-two women and children between 1978 and 1990. Soviet authorities executed Chikatilo by gunshot in February 1994.
