Igor Chernat (born c. 1966 in Odessa, UkSSR – October 21, 1987 in Leningrad, RSFSR), also known as The Evil Spirit of Kaukjarvi, was a Soviet serial killer who killed at least 4 women between 1985 and 1986.

Biography

Very little is known about the life of Igor Chernat before his murders. It is known that he was born in Odessa, and that he studied at the Velikodolinskaya Secondary School Nmb. 1 in the Odessa Oblast. After graduating from 8th grade, he entered a vocational school. He lived on Pionerskoy Street, and studied as a driver in the DOSAAF. In 1985, he was drafted into the ranks of the Soviet Army, where he served as a IFV driver. He served in the village of Kamenka, as part of the 138th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade.

Murders

Chernat committed his first murder in November 1985, of which he told only after his arrest.

In March 1986, the maniac went hunting again. His second victim was Yevgeniya Nazarova, who had come to visit her soldier husband, who was at that time in the medical unit’s infirmary. Chernat led the girl from the checkpoint and raped her, then killed her in a fishing line.

In mid-April 1986, Chernat committed his third murder. The victim this time was Viktoria Bykovskaya, the mother of one of the soldiers, who was bringing food to her son in the military unit.

Soon after, the maniac committed his fourth murder. The victim was, again, the wife of one of the soldiers, Elena Ivanova. However, this time the pair were observed by a Pvt. Zhevolyuk, who told of how he saw the victim on the day of the murder with a soldier, heading to the nearest forest.

Chernat sold everything that he stole from his victims in the market of Vyborg.

Investigation and trial

Large-scale inspections began in all military units in Kamenka, as a result of which monstrous facts were revealed about the situation there: desertion, theft, dedovshchina, etc.

During the inspection, one of the soldiers suspected of stealing military property said that Chernat had stolen most and nothing would happen to him. The accused was interrogated, but escaped that same night. He moved back to Odessa, where he tried to make new documents for himself, but he realized that it would fail. And then Chernat went to the police, where he stated that he was the maniac responsible for the murders. He was transported to Leningrad, where he soon began to testify.

The military tribunal of the Leningrad Military District sentenced Igor Chernat to an exceptional measure of punishment – the death penalty through firing squad. In October 1987, the sentence was carried out.

Gloria Stuart Net Worth: Gloria Stuart was an American actress, painter, singer, activist, and bonsai master who had a net worth of $5 million. Born Gloria Frances Stewart, on July 4, 1910 in Santa Monica, California, she had a glaring Hollywood career even though she made a very long pause from acting of almost thirty years at one point. Stuart made several stage, television, and film appearances, for which she was best remembered. A third-generation Californian, Gloria changed her surname to “Stuart” because she said it had a perfect balance with the six letters of her given name. Adventurist by nature, she was still studying drama and philosophy at the University of California when she dropped out in her junior year to marry Blair Gordon Newell. At the time, she acted at the Carmel Playhouse and worked on the Carmel newspaper. Shortly after, Stuart decided to go to Los Angeles where she immediately signed a contract with Universal Studios. Thus, she starred in the movies “The Old Dark House” (1932), “The Kiss Before the Mirror” (1933) and “The Invisible Man” (1933). In 1934 she divorced Blair Gordon Newell and soon married screen writer Arthur Sheekman, with whom stayed together for forty happy years, i.e., until Sheekman died from the effects of Alzheimer on January 12, 1978. They lived in Italy with their daughter Sylvia, where Stuart started to paint. By the 1940s, Stuart quit acting to start an art furniture shop. Off to a good start, she even sold some pieces in New York, Los Angeles, and several other places. In this period, Stuart also became a bonsai master. However, in the late 1970s she was deeply struck by her husband’s death and got back to acting that served as her haven away from grief. In 1982 she made a cameo dancing with Peter O’Toole in the film “My Favorite Year”. Later on, she established a fine art printing press called “Imprenta Glorias”, where she created a series of fine artist´s books. Stuart became a celebrity again after her role in Cameron´s film “Titanic” as 100-year old Rose. This earned her nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her the oldest nominee ever. Gloria died from a respiratory failure on September 26, 2010, at the age of 100.
