Early Life
Andrei Chikatilo was born on October 16, 1936 in a small village of Ukraine called Yablochnoye. Chikatilo was born into a time of great famine causing him deprivation from the start. Chikatilo did not have an easy childhood. He was born with water on his brain a condition called hydrocephalus, which caused him to have genital-urinary tract problems throughout adolescence. Chikatilo wet the bed, which made him a perfect target for bullies at school. Not only was school life rough for Chikatilo, his home life was described to be just as bad. His mother often beat him for her own problems and his father was barely ever around. His father was enrolled in the army, the war against Germany. He was captured, held prisoner, and vilified by his comrades. His father quickly became infamous through out Chikatilo’s hometown for getting captured at war. This greatly contributed to Chikatilo’s rough home and school life making him an even bigger target for bullying. Being a product of bullying Chikatilo was very shy at school not having any friends or social life. As Chikatilo hit puberty he discovered that he could not maintain an erection but could still ejaculate this is a product from the water on his brain during birth. This greatly affected his sexual experience during his teenage years. Chikatilo had one sexual experience during his adolescence when he was 15, he was reported to have taken advantage of a younger girl, and he ejaculated immediately during the brief encounter. This interaction ended in a huge sexual struggle for young Chikatilo and cemented a reputation for him through out his school life.
Adulthood
Chikatilo managed to get through his teenage years despite all the constant problems. He hoped to get into Moscow University but failed his entrance exam. He acquired a job as a telephone engineer in 1960 in a town near Rostov. Later that year his younger sister moved in with him because she was worried about his over all well-being and lack of success with the opposite sex. She arranged a marriage for her brother with a local friend named Fayina who he married in 1963. Chikatilo managed to have two kids with Fayina despite his erectile dysfunctions. It was noted that he would ejaculate around his wife's female genitals and push in his sperm with his fingers making it possible to have children. The Chikatilo family looked outwardly very normal but within the walls of their home it was believed that it was not as normal as everyone believed it to be. In the 1960's Chikatilo got a degree in teaching Russian language and literature from the University of Rostov. In 1971 Chakitilo changed his career and became a schoolteacher. Chikatilo had a hard time keeping a job because of the constant complaints from his student's parents of him molesting their children. Chikatilo was forced to move from school to school because of these complaints. Eventually Chikitilo ended his teaching career in 1981 because of the constant complaints from parents. Chikatilo believed he found his niche at a local mining school in Shakhty where he would work for several years before he became a clerk at a nearby factory.
