Russian cannibal sold human flesh to mom who made dumplings

*** WARNING: Some readers may find details in this story disturbing

One of Russia’s most notorious cannibals is confessing he became a flesh-eater on the spur of the moment.

Vladimir Nikolayevich Nikolayev — aka Vladimir the Cannibal — told an interviewer for Inside Russia’s Toughest Prisons about the moment he first tasted human flesh.

“I was coming home from a party a little drunk. And next to the door of my building another guy, also drunk, asked me for a light,” he told the program. “We started arguing and got into a fight. He hit me, and I hit him, and it turned out he died.”

He added: “What was I to do? I dragged him to the bathroom, undressed him, and started cutting him apart.”

The cannibal then dismembered his victim and “decided to try him.”

“I cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and boiled it. I tried it, didn’t like it, so I chopped it up and fried it in a frying pan.”

Soon, he began looking for another victim and wanted to share his sickening secret delicacy. He sold 5 kilos of the human flesh to a man for vodka money.

“He took it home and gave it to his wife. She made dumplings with it, she had some herself and fed some to her children,” Nikolayev said. “They didn’t know what it was.”

Prior to the shocking slayings, the killer had been in and out of mental institutions most of his adult life. He has been described by Russian doctors as a psychopath with an  “antisocial personality.”

The 63-year-old killer was sentenced to death for the two 1997 slayings but Russia abolished the death penalty in 1999. Home is now the notorious K-6 Dolphin prison.
