Sergey Alexandrovich Kashintsev (Russian: Сергей Александрович Кашинцев; August 9, 1940 – January 17, 1992) was a Soviet serial killer. Originally convicted of a single murder in 1975, he was later released and committed at least seven additional killings across the country. Following his arrest, he confessed to a total of 59 murders and 3 attempted murders he had supposedly done from 1985 to 1987, most of which remain unverified.[1]
He was sentenced to death for his confirmed crimes in 1990, and subsequently executed two years later.[2]
