The story of a maniac, told by the old KGB Yuri Tarasovich.
1980, the Olympiad was on the nose, and a maniac started in Lviv. He maneuvered this way: he found a woman (a girl or even a grandmother) on the street and sprinkled sulfuric acid on her clothes from behind. At first, she doesn't notice, she goes her way, but when the acid eats away her clothes, she begins to scream wildly, tear everything off, ride on the ground, etc.
A terrible affair. And the maniac, meanwhile, had long thrown out the container from under the acids, stood quietly in the crowd and got his manic crack (well, crazy, what will you take...?) The menta caught him on the nerve. They were allowed to walk around the city of their wives and friends, and they themselves watched the civic... but the maniac did not enter these productions. Although the mint in the amount of 1000 pieces has been catching it for half a year, our spire "worked" strictly every day. As a result: rumors and not an easy panic...
The rumors reached Brejnev, he was angry and at some meeting scourged the Minister of Internal Affairs Shchelokov, while attending.
Andropov and badly painted: the militia catches half a year, and mine would be caught in three days. Brejnev said: “Get a guess, in the sense of catching, and three days later report... Major Yuri Tarasovich called the general and ordered: You are appointed the senior of the group to catch the acid maniac. No people, no cars, but for three days. The matter is in the control of Andropov, do not handle in three days, your pursuit will fly... Do not stand, the time has passed!
Yuri Tarasovich spoke with mints, but mints for half a year only scratched the list of victims. Tarasych asked them to call him as soon as possible.
Here is a new attack, Tarasych and his group in the number of his one, on a personal moscovite flies to the scene of events. Tichonechko stands up next to him and photographs a crowd of people from the car around another sufferer.
The next day he also goes out to the scene of the crime, photographing everyone, as yesterday. But now he’s going through the photos all night and finds a man who was in the crowd yesterday and today.
On the third day, Tarasych is already without a photocopy, but with handcuffs, wrapping the hands of an invisible uncle with good characteristics from work. The uncle was so shocked that he confessed on the street.

Yuri Tarasovich settled for three days and the general did not appeal to him, but he did not reward him... with the wording: Leonid Ilyich is not satisfied... because they caught the maniac for a whole half year and three days.
