In the late 90s, law enforcement officers of the Samara region investigated numerous cases of attacks on couples who came to the forest belt near the village of Managerial. The forest plantation in the region was then called the "lovers' alley", as well as the place where the "goblin" or "forest maniac" trades. The last was the major of the internal service, the head of the own security service of the local IK-19 Dmitry Voroshilov.
The investigation initially charged Voroshilov with at least 13 victims, but, KP Samara reminds, only an attack on one couple and the fact of wounding a traffic police officer with a sawn-off shotgun could prove. After almost 30 years, Voroshilov's name resurfaced in the Samara media — the "forest maniac" was found in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In 1997, by virtue of his position, Voroshilov, who knew the law well, denied involvement in the murders. Therefore, the investigation was able to prove only the episodes in which "leshiy" received 12.5 years in a strict regime colony.
Voroshilov was released in 2012, after which he returned to his homeland in a village near Lugansk. Ten years later, he moved to the Dnipropetrovsk region, where he joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Currently, Dmitry Voroshilov should be 58 years old.
