A group of Satan worshipers who committed multiple ritual murders in Russia have been put in prison.
Andrei Tregubenko and Olga Bolsakova from Moscow admitted to tricking a girl into a forest in the Karelia region and murdering her in 2016.
The pair – described as followers of Satanism – were part of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), an unknown neo-Nazi group that started in the UK in the 1970s.
Specifically, they were part of a religious group called Legion Ave Satan, a section of the O9A.
On their now-forbidden VKontakte social media page, Tregubenko and Bolshakova promoted O9A, and identified as followers of ‘Traditional Satanism’ and ‘pre-Christian faith’.
With the help of two more people, Tatyana Deryugina and Alexander Perevozchikov-Khmury, the pair killed a man in the Leningrad region a few months later.
Bolshakova lured the man into the forest, where the group attacked and killed him.
His body was hidden in a hole and his clothes burned, while the knife was thrown into a pond.

Her partner Tregubenko killed another man during a drunk argument in the Moscow region, then he and the three others performed a ritual with the victim’s blood.
For a long time, their crimes went unsolved until Tregubenko and Bolshakova were caught with drugs during a search of their apartment in 2021.
Investigators in Russia said the couple, both 36 years old, ‘met because of a shared commitment to the religious-mystical movement of Satan worshipers, which includes conducting rituals with human sacrifices.’
They were arrested and later agreed to show where the bodies of the victims had been hidden.
A video later showed Deryugina directing police to a spot in a forest, next to a rail track, where the group had carried out one of the sacrificial killings.
‘It happened over there,’ she told authorities, pointing in the far distance.
An investigator then asked: ‘What phrases, the words you used?’
‘I don’t remember… it was an invocation of dark forces,’ she replied.
Tregubenko was given a life sentence in connection with the three killings.
Deryugina and Perevozchikov-Khmury were sentenced to 13 and 15 years in prison, respectively.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said Bolshakova previously was sentenced to an unspecified term.
