According to the local media outlet Shot, tests are being conducted on a decomposing male body found close to Akkermanovka, by the Kazakhstani border. How did Valery Andreev evade capture for so long? Truck driver Valery Andreev, despite never facing trial, remains suspected of heinous crime. In what is now regarded as a disastrous error, the Orsk Maniac, named after his hometown, eluded law enforcement for 12 years after being questioned and then freed on the grounds of "lack of evidence" at the time. Years later, Russian police claimed to have "proof" that the truck driver had assaulted and killed eight women, but they were unable to track him down. What made him one of Russia's most feared killers? Law enforcement also suspects Andreev of being responsible for the kidnapping, assault, and killing of over 100 women who were reported "missing" in the Orenburg region of southwest Russia, near the Kazakhstani border, between 2006 and 2016. Andreev might be the worst serial killer in Russian history if the accusations made by Russian police are accurate. His possible bloody total would surpass that of former police officer Mikhail Popkov , also known as The Werewolf, who was found guilty of 81 murders in Siberia and admitted to two more. The deceased man was wearing dark pants and a T-shirt that read, "Collection of 99 International Games." He fit the wanted descriptions of the suspected mass murderer because all of his teeth were gold, as per a report by the Mirror. The cause of death for this corpse is still unknown. Reports of Andreev's "sightings" have been common since police offered a £15,000 reward for information. Since he was added to Russia's federal wanted list in 2013, Andreev has been evading capture. He was regarded as a "peaceful and obedient family man" and was a married father of two, as per a report by The Mirror. FAQs Who was Valery Andreyev? He was a Russian truck driver known as the "Orsk Maniac" who is suspected of killing over 100 women between 2006 and 2016. Why do police suspect the body is his? The corpse had all-gold teeth, a key detail in Andreev's description, and was discovered near his last known location.

Russia ready to support Africa's digital independence
Russia is ready to support African countries in developing technologies that promote self-sufficiency and sovereignty, Aleksey Andreev, Russia's trade representative in Morocco, has stated. In an interview with the newspaper L'Opinion on Tuesday, Andreev said, 'Russia is ready to become a strategic partner of Morocco in the implementation of the national digital strategy Morocco Digital 2030.' He also stressed that while Africa is rich in resources, data has become the most valuable asset in today's world – adding that Russia is not interested in exploiting these resources, but in equipping African nations with tools to manage and protect them. Russia offers 'not only software products, but an ecosystem of digital solutions that guarantee technological sovereignty and growth,' he said. The proposed solutions include digital transformation projects, development of smart cities and systems for public administration, financial services, and business operations. He pointed to several priority domains for cooperation, including AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, automated control systems, telecommunications, and smart transportation. READ MORE: Why Russia keeps winning friends in Africa Asked whether Russia is prepared to support Morocco through skills training and digital literacy programs, Andreev highlighted the adaptability of the Russian approach. Unlike many Western companies, Russian developers prioritize localization and flexibility over rigid licensing models, he said. 'Russian companies offer data hosting on local servers, adapting products to the requirements of domestic brands and working closely with local companies – an essential factor for countries seeking to strengthen their technological sovereignty,' the trade representative explained. The initiative is in line with a broader strategy to strengthen economic ties with Africa. In November, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that trade between Russia and African countries reached a record high of $24.5 billion in 2023, despite obstacles created by the West. According to estimates from the Agroexport Center, Russia's agricultural exports to Morocco reached nearly $280 million in 2024, marking a threefold increase compared to the previous year.
