ON DREAMS
I have nightmares ... A dog. It lived with me a long time [he lured his victims by asking them to go mourn at his dead dog's grave in Bittsevsky Park with a couple of shots of vodka before smashing their heads in]. She died. It was my fault. I treated it, how to say, not very ... She could have been saved. It was a bad situation ... it left something in my subconscious.
ON LITERATURE
Of course I don't write. Only devki (plural of dyev, Russian slang for "girls") write. Journalists too, I suppose.
ON FRIENDSHIP
First of all, what is a friend? This is not someone who gives you one hundred rubles or lets you stay over for a night ... And secondly, my principle: to the grave, and that's it. Yes, I received more pleasure from killing people whom I knew personally. But I also found a way to get to strangers and that is not easy. Their relatives said that they would never go somewhere with a stranger. But to me they are flying, despite the difference in age. A youngster, Koryagin [one of his victims]... I was leaving the police office and I knew that everywhere was an ambush, but I remained free. Then I spit and got caught.
ON FORGIVENESS
No, I do not regret it. So much strength and time spent. Repent? I do not repent, this is again a dull formality. It will not change my sentence. Since I was young I dreamed ... Everything was different back then. And it all turned out the way I wanted it to. I knew that they had me nailed when they started pressing me about 12 victims, but then they all were surprised that I actually killed 60. I watched a show about me on TV. Denis, my classmate, told the camera: "When we learned that he had committed these crimes it was a shock." Others said I was a rare case - killing just for the sake of killing. There is no motivation: neither race nor sex nor religion. Even someone wrote: Pichushkin himself doesn’t know yet that the history of criminology is changed, that it didn’t account for someone such as him, that he will go down in history forever ...
ON SPORTS
I have never watched football. No football, no hockey.
ON TRAVEL
I would like to live in Mexico. First, it is warm there, and secondly, there are forests. Maybe there I could live in a different way if I was there...
[After the Tvoi Den reporter told Puchushkin that Mexico doesn’t have forests, he replied:]
Do you want to tell me there are no jungles? Like Freddy Krueger said, “Elm Street exists in every city.”
