    “My name is Mikhail Viktorovich Popkov (Russian: Михаи́л Ви́кторович Попко́в; born 7 March 1964) I’m a Russian serial killer who I committed the sexual assault and murder of eighty-three girls and women between 1992 and 2010 in Angarsk, Irkutsk, in Siberia, and Vladivostok in Far East, although I confessed to and I’m being suspected of at least eighty-six in total. I’m known as "the Werewolf" and "the Angarsk Maniac" for the particularly brutal nature of my crimes. I was also known as "the Wednesday Murderer" due to bodies of my victims usually being found on Wednesdays. I’m the single most prolific serial killer in Russian history.
