Andrei Vladimirovich Sibiryakov was born on 28 February 1964 in Leningrad, which is now known as St. Petersburg, Russia. He grew up in a changing environment. At a young age, he was convicted of hooliganism. After serving his time, he got married, but his life did not improve.

Sibiryakov struggled to find stable work. He had no clear job prospects, and he was not motivated to have a regular job. At the time of his attacks, he lived in a town called Pushkin, close to St. Petersburg. During his time in Pushkin, he walked around the town for hours each day. He felt disconnected from the world and started to visit the burial site of Grigori Rasputin. Sibiryakov believed this place gave him a sense of power or "energy."

Andrei Vladimirovich Sibiryakov committed a series of violent crimes in the late 1980s. He lived in Pushkin, a town near St. Petersburg. Sibiryakov pretended to be an employee of the local municipal engineering company called "Lenenergo." He targeted single women, breaking into their homes to rob and kill them. In a short period, he attacked six women, five of whom died from their injuries. One woman survived after he attacked her but his knife broke during the assault.

Sibiryakov's crimes drew public attention, especially after they were featured on a television program called "600 Seconds." He became proud of his actions and even sent a letter to the police demanding money to stop committing crimes. He arranged a meeting at a railway platform in Pushkin, believing he could escape after taking the money.

However, police were waiting for him. After he took the money from a police car, he tried to flee but was chased by an officer. Sibiryakov went into a basement to hide but was eventually caught when he attempted to change his clothes and leave. He later confessed to his crimes, and police found stolen items at his home.

Sibiryakov was tried and sentenced to death. He was executed by a firing squad on August 5, 1991.
