Nikita Lytkin

Akademgorodok is a district of the Sverdlovsk Administrative Okrug of Irkutsk, located in the southwestern part of the city, on the left bank of the Angara River, where the action takes place. Irkutsk State Technical University and several faculties of Irkutsk State University are located nearby. The main difference between Irkutsk Akademgorodok and other similar towns is that it is located not in a remote area, but in the city center; the main street is practically the only thoroughfare between the different districts of Irkutsk. The total number of employees of the Irkutsk Scientific Center at the end of 2005 was 3,835 people, of which 1,132 were researchers, including 231 doctors of science and 658 candidates of science. Six academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences and six corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences work at the Irkutsk Scientific Center. More than 300 people undergo postgraduate training annually, including more than 250 full-time. The number of postgraduate students makes up 30.4% of the number of research staff.

Ten dissertation councils for the defense of doctoral dissertations operate within the institutes of the IRC SB RAS. Through the Experimentarium Museum, the IRC promotes science among the public, especially schoolchildren. Visitors can watch fascinating experiments and even participate in them.

As a child, Nikita attended church with his mother for two years; they were both baptized, but over time Marina devoted more and more attention to work, and they went to church less and less. Then Nikita himself began to reject religion. For some time, he studied music, drawing, and kickboxing, but gradually abandoned all this and began to devote all his free time to regularly visiting social networks.[14] Since childhood, he had a delay in mental development. Psychologists advised Marina to give him as much freedom as possible and not limit his personal space, but with age, Nikita's mental state began to deteriorate, and several years before the murders, he began to be embarrassed in front of his mother, trying to ensure that they were never seen together.[14]

Nikita Lytkin was born on March 24, 1993.[15] His great-grandfather and great-grandmother were hydroelectric engineers and participated in the construction of the Uglich and Irkutsk hydroelectric power plants.[16] His mother, Marina, worked as a salesperson in a shoe store. All that is known about his father is that he is Ossetian. Like Artyom Anufriev, Nikita grew up without a father—his father left the family when he was very young. His father soon returned, but his depression, caused by the death of his first wife and the suicide of his first son, prevented him from establishing contact with Nikita. After this, his father left and returned several more times, but Nikita became increasingly disillusioned with him. The last time he saw his father was at the age of 16, when they simply failed to find common ground.[14]

Outwardly, the boy was quiet and calm, but, according to his mother, he grew up very withdrawn and unsociable. If the Lytkins had guests, he preferred not to show himself and always retreated to his room. As a child, he was often caught drawing on the walls in the entryway of their building. In elementary school, Nikita had a friend, Artur Lysenko, who helped him fit in with his peers. “He treated him like an object. <…> Nikita didn’t know how to refuse, he didn’t know how to say ‘no.’ He didn’t have an opinion of his own. I taught him that he needed to be able to say that very ‘no.’ And when he learned, he and Artur separated and were no longer friends,” Nikita’s mother later recounted.[14] Until fifth grade, Nikita was a good student, had exemplary behavior, often participated in creative competitions and received certificates of merit, and his passion was computer games.[18] In 2004, in his fifth year of study, Lytkin, based on his test results, was placed in a mathematics class, although he had no interest in mathematics. Nikita was unable to fit into the new group.[17][19] Lytkin met Artyom Anufriev, who was a year ahead of him, at Lysenko's birthday party.
