In 2001, he was transferred to Russia‘s notorious K-6 Black Dolphin prison, close to the border with Kazakhstan. He was filmed as part of the National Geographic documentary “Inside Russia’s Toughest Prisons“, where he opened up about how he first ate human flesh. “I was coming home from a party a little drunk,” he recalled. “And next to the door of my building another guy, also drunk, asked me for a light.

He hit me, and I hit him, and it turned out he died.” Nikolayev insisted he hadn’t intended to eat his victim when he murdered him, but that once he was dismembering his body the thought struck him. “What was I to do?” he said. “I dragged him to the bathroom, undressed him, and started cutting him apart.” Once he had chopped off the man’s head and limbs, he went on, “I thought I would try him”.

I tried it, didn’t like it, so I chopped it up and fried it in a frying pan.” Sickeningly, this wasn’t enough for the cannibal, who then gave some of the human flesh to a pal that he took home to his wife and child. The wife then made dumplings out of it which she fed to her children, unaware of the horrifying truth behind the meat. Smirking, Nikolayev added: “I said it was kangaroo. We don’t have kangaroos around here. They didn’t know what it was.” He was eventually caught after taking around 5kg of his victim’s flesh to an open market to sell. A woman was disturbed by the unusual taste and took it to a doctor to examine, where it was found to contain human blood. The doctor contacted police and Nikolayev was arrested soon afterwards.

Inmates at the bleak penal colony are fed a grim diet of mostly bread and soup, while guards force them to walk in an unusual position bent over with their handcuffed hands behind their back and higher than their hips. This position leaves the prisoners as helpless as possible, unable to attack anyone else or observe their surroundings. Guards make the rounds every 15 minutes to ensure the inmates are complying with the rules, and they must respond to any question from prisoner officers with “yes sir”.

It has attracted controversy in recent years after it was compared by campaigners to the evil Soviet gulags. Inmates – who are convicted of the vilest crimes – have been known to mutilate themselves in protest at their living conditions. Another inmate Nikolai Astankov was jailed for killing an entire family before burning their bodies in the forest. He told National Geographic: “If you constantly think about what is here, what is waiting for you, that you won’t ever get free, that you are left here alone, you simply won’t make it.” He added: “You are constantly being filmed in your cell, so you’re being watched around the clock.” Read More on The Sun BAD TRIP My kids' school fined me £120 after their mum took them on holiday… I had no idea KID YOU NOT I’m a mum to triplets and a toddler - I get mum-shamed all the time Guard Denis Avsyuk told interviewers: “The main crime committed by the convicts here is murder. But we also have maniacs, paedophiles, and terrorists. “To call them people, it makes your tongue bend backwards just to say it. I have never felt any sympathy for them.”
