In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689"},"episode":{"title":"S6 Ep11: The Butcher of Rostov","slug":"s6-ep11-the-butcher-of-rostov","published_at":"2026-05-11T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689/s6-ep11-the-butcher-of-rostov","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8901302","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8901302.mp3?modified=1778267460&sid=5034723&source=rss","summary":"In 1978, a nine-year-old girl in a red coat went looking for a kind man she'd met at a train station. She never came home. Over the next 12 years, at least 52 more would follow. But in the Soviet Union's supposed utopia, serial killers didn't exist — and a government more committed to its own mythology than to its citizens would pay a terrible price for that belief.
