Hi friends, how are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian, and today is Monday, which means it's murder, mystery, and makeup Monday.

So if you're new here, hi, every Monday I sit down. I talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my

Noggin, and I do my makeup at the same time. Okay, so now let's jump into today's story and just a heads up.

Today's story is pretty rough.

This story involves sexual abuse and assault, and sadly some children, I'm not going to go into great detail about what happened to them.

Just kind of lightly touch on it, but I just wanted to give you guys a heads up, and I can understand if you want to skip.

Also, last thing I promise, this story takes place in the Ukraine. I can't even say Ukraine correctly.

I can barely speak English correctly, so bear with me. I probably most likely will get some names wrong, okay?

Shout out to Ukraine, it's your turn. Today we're going to talk about Andre Chickatilo. Andre, Andre, Andre.

What a sick, holy crap. I had no idea about this guy. A little backstory on Andre.

So he was born October 16th in 1936, and he was born in Yablitschne, Ukraine, and this is a village in the heart of rural Ukraine in the USSR.

During the 1930s, Ukraine was best known as the bread basket of the Soviet Union. He was born during a famine due to Joseph Stalin's forced collectivization of agriculture.

Crops were being taken from farmers to be distributed to other cities and countries, but the government took too much and thousands of people starved to death during this time.

Of course, there's a lot more to it than the government just took too much. Stalin's policies of this collectivization caused widespread hardship and famine that wiped out the population.

At the time of Andre's birth, the effects of the famine were still widely felt, and his upbringing was really rough. I think that's fair to say.

They didn't have much, the family, they really had nothing. The situation was made worse when the USSR entered World War II against Germany.

Andre was believed to have suffer from hydrocephalus. I don't know if you know this, I'm not a doctor, but based off of what I've Googled, built up a fluid that happens within your brain, and it happens like at birth.

Now, it said it's what caused him to have urinary tract problems later in life, like bed wetting into his late teenage years, and later he wasn't able to keep an erection.

But he was still able to ejaculate, which oddly enough, we're going to talk about later. I never thought I'd be here putting on makeup talking about boners and ejaculation.

But here we are, surprised myself. Now, Andre's father worked as a farmer. Unfortunately, at that time, his parents were not paid for their work at all.

Instead, they were allowed to plant their own crops on a small patch of land behind the tiny hut they lived in, and they were able to keep that food as their own instead of getting paid.

The family rarely had enough food and often ate grass and leaves to survive. Andre's mom tells him that he had an older brother named Stephen, and that at age four, Stephen had been kidnapped, killed, and eaten by the neighbors.
