254: The Gang of Amazons | Russia
About this episode
This episode explores the investigation and trial of the Gang of Amazons, a family involved in a series of violent crimes in southern Russia.
On a quiet September night in 2013, a routine traffic stop on the outskirts of Aksai unraveled a mystery that had haunted southern Russia for years. A violent shootout led police to a forest campsite, and what they uncovered was more than just weapons. The suspects were not professional hitmen or members of a paramilitary group. They were a family. A mother, her daughters, and her husband. Their crimes spanned nearly a decade: home invasions, execution-style killings, ambushes on police officers. Dozens of stolen items linked them to victims across Rostov Oblast and beyond. They would become known in the media as the Gang of Amazons. In this episode, we examine the investigation that connected seemingly random crimes to a single group, delve into the backgrounds of the perpetrators, and follow the trial that brought their reign of terror to an end.
