Alexander Bichkov was an armed vigilante from Moscow, frequently called the "Russian Rambo". He lived a transient existence in the woods by the Russian city for two decades, frequently confronting and terrorizing citizens and the police. He died in a shoot-out with Russian police in March 2008. Though unconfirmed, police claim he was raised as part of a family of criminals exiled by Joseph Stalin in the 1940s.
