At different times, people lived who were alien to the concepts of humanism, goodness and mercy. They did one evil after another. The worst thing is that many of them have become influential people. Because of their impunity, not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of people suffered. What is evil, who tops the list of the most evil people in the world?

What is evil?

The understanding of good and evil comes from childhood, although, rather, it is absorbed with mother's milk. Gradually, the child himself comes to the conclusion that an evil person is a person who shows aggression, directs negative emotions to other people.

Today, anger has become the epidemic of the 21st century. An evil person is one who is paralyzed by inner weakness, suffering and torment. Gradually, a person loses everything: loved ones, family, love and self-satisfaction.

During a strong anger in the human body is the release of cortisol and adrenaline. As a result - severe pain in the neck, neck, stomach ulcers.

An evil person accumulates hatred, reproaches for the world around him and begins to take revenge on everyone around. With an increase in rage, a psychological complex is created, which leads to internal destruction. Who became the embodiment of evil in real life? Do you think it's Hitler? No, not at all. Stalin took first place. Let's talk about the most evil people in the world in more detail.

Delphine LaLaurie

Calm, at first glance, the girl in real life turned out to be a bloodthirsty sadist from New Orleans.

Her family belonged to a secular society and had great authority in New Orleans. While still a little girl, Delphine got used to unprecedented luxury. No one could even imagine that a real monster would grow out of this sweet lady.

140 Royal Street is the address of the house where Madame LaLaurie lived. Or rather, this is the address of the true chamber of torture, pain and horror.

April 10, 1834 at this address there was a fire in the kitchen. Firefighters found two slaves chained to a stove. Many thought then that the slaves set themselves on fire to draw attention to themselves. After their release, the firefighters followed to the attic, where a horrific picture awaited them: dozens of mutilated slaves were shackled to the walls and floor. One man, Delfina LaLaurie, underwent sex reassignment surgery. The woman sitting next to her had mutilated hands, outwardly resembling the limbs of a crab. Another young girl was found without arms and legs. It turns out that the mistress wanted to turn her into a caterpillar. Many victims of this "sweet" woman were found dead. Some firefighters managed to save.

Delphine LaLaurie was going to have a real people's trial. People wanted to execute her. However, Madame managed to escape to Europe. Later it was known that the sadist died in France while hunting for a boar.

Does this lady deserve the status of "The most evil person in the world"? We think that in vain they did not have time to execute her.

Witch of Buchenwald - Ilse Koch

Surely each of us at least once in his life heard the phrase "Buchenwald witch". Meet the bearer of this title - Ilsa Koch. She is the wife of the chief commandant of the Majdanek and Buchenwald concentration camps.

Ilse was ideologically savvy in the theory and practice of the racial superiority of the Aryans over other nationalities. The so-called "Buchenwald witch" conducted humiliating sophisticated experiments on concentration camp prisoners.

In 1936, Ilsa became a security guard and secretary in Sachsenhausen (a city in Germany where a Nazi concentration camp was located). A year later - in 1937, her husband Karl Koch received a new position: commandant of Buchenwald. Since then, Ilsa began to organize brutal murders and bullying.

When she walked around the concentration camp, she beat people she met on the road with a whip, after which she set a German shepherd on them. Prisoners said that the Nazi gave orders to kill all prisoners with tattoos. Then she personally made “original” crafts from leather: gloves, lampshades and even book bindings. In 1941, for "special" merits, Ilse became the senior overseer among the female guards.

In 1945, Ilsa was arrested by the Americans. Two years later, she was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, a few years later, the general of the American army, the commandant of the American occupation zone in Germany, Lucius Clay, released her. The main motive is the lack of evidence for the manufacture of souvenirs from human skin and orders for the execution of prisoners. Naturally, this phenomenon caused a resonance among the public. Therefore, in 1951, Ilse was again arrested by Germany and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, on September 1, 1967, Ilse committed suicide: she hanged herself in a cell in the Bavarian Eibach prison.

Ivan IV, aka the Terrible

The prefix to the name "Grozny" corresponds to the title "The most evil man in the world." Ivan IV is the Russian tsar, who became famous for introducing strict centralization of power through bloody executions.

Ivan the Terrible distinguished himself with special cruelty towards his own children. In 1581, he beat his pregnant daughter for wearing a provocative toilet. Accordingly, a miscarriage could not be avoided. His son, having learned about what had happened, wanted to reason with his stern father, but he hit the heir on the head, which led to his death.

Ivan the Terrible showed unprecedented cruelty during the massacre of the Novgorodians. Arriving in Novgorod, the tsar accused all the townspeople of treason and began to carry out massacres. Adults and children were tied to sledges and dragged to the Volkhov Bridge, and then thrown into the river. Those who survived were pushed under the ice with sticks. Historians are still arguing about the number of victims. Figures range from 1,500 to 40,000 executed.

Countess Dracula - Elizabeth Bathory

Meet the most evil female person on the planet - Elizabeth Bathory, better known as Countess Dracula. The girl killed more than 650 young girls in order to look young longer.

Historians claim that she ate her servants. Their blood replaced her ordinary water, she took a bath in it.

Vlad Dracula - male - "count"

Vladislav Tepes is known as Count Dracula. Translated from the Romanian language, his surname means count. He liked to impale people.

He also roasted poor children with poor health. Then he forced his parents to eat them.

Mao Zedong

The most evil man in the world and in China is Mao Zedong. He was dictator in China for 33 years from 1943 to 1976.

Mao is responsible for the deaths of more than one million people. He arranged executions, starvation and the main goal of Mao Zedong is similar to Hitler's goal - to make China a superpower.

Benito Mussolini

Mussolini is the founder of the fascist doctrine in Italy, which promoted brutal methods in the wars against Yugoslavia and the Ethiopian Empire.

In 1919 he personally organized the Fascist Party. On October 28, 1922, he staged a military coup in the country and took power into his own hands. November 1 proclaimed a new government. Mussolini gave himself the powers of a dictator. He became famous as one of the terrible aggressors in foreign policy. Together with Germany, he entered World War II.

In his methods for the destruction of peoples, he used mustard gas, bombed Red Cross hospitals. Mussolini is the most evil man in the world (photo below).

It is also known that he personally arranged mass executions without the permission of the court. In 1945 he was sentenced to death.

Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Laden is the founder of the first international Islamist terrorist organization called al-Qaeda. Later, it was this organization that carried out the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the explosions of the United States embassies in Africa. Then thousands of people died.

Bin Laden is an Islamist, a native of Saudi Arabia. He lived in a wealthy family. His father is a billionaire.

In 1979, he dropped out of university and went to Pakistan. There he joined the Mujahideen who fought against the Soviet military in Afghanistan. He later declared war on the United States and ordered a series of terrorist attacks.

He is the most evil person in the world (photo below).

On May 2, 2011, Bin Laden was killed during a special operation by American units, on the orders of Barack Obama, who was then the President of the United States.

Saddam Hussein

The most evil person in the world is the President of Iraq.

He is responsible for numerous murders of his citizens. Over 2 million people were killed during the history of his reign. It is also known that he filmed these executions on a video camera, and reviewed them at home as entertainment.

Heinrich Himmler

The most evil man in the world is the main ideologue of the decision on the Jewish question. If not for him, the most mass extermination of Jews, Gypsies, Poles and Soviet prisoners of war under the name "Holocaust" would not have happened.

Previously, he was a bankrupt farmer. After - the head of the Gestapo and the Waffen-SS. He is one of the most influential and significant German Nazis.

In fact, after Stalin and Hitler, Heinrich Himmler is the third person who killed millions of people. After the war, Himmler was taken prisoner. He tried to enter into negotiations with the West, but the attempts were in vain. In the end, Heinrich committed suicide: he bit through a capsule with potassium cyanide (poison).

Adolf Gitler

The most evil person in the world in all history is the leader of the Third Reich, the most evil genius of the 20th century is Adolf Hitler. In 1933 he was appointed Chancellor of Germany. In 1934 - Fuhrer. He is the leader of Nazi Germany, the initiator of the Holocaust, the creator of the Gestapo police, the concentration camp system.

His ideology carried the superiority of the native Aryans over other peoples. Hitler's main goal was to become the only leader in the world, in which Soviet citizens should become "slaves", and the lower races (Jews, gypsies) should be destroyed.

Hitler's personality is the embodiment and model of evil. He turned a large-scale operation to capture the whole of Europe. He initiated World War II. At that time, for his citizens, he became a brilliant leader who would make a “superpower” out of their country. For Soviet citizens, Hitler is a monster, a sadist and a criminal.

His 10-year-long era began to be called "Hitler's". His path and whole life is literally saturated with the human blood of 11 million people.

Joseph Stalin

The most evil person in the world in the entire history of mankind and the most controversial historical figure is Joseph Stalin. Historians still argue over his ideology. Some call him "the greatest man", others hate him as a classic dictator.

During his reign, large areas of land were under his personal control. Millions of farmers who refused to give away their plots just like that were destroyed. This led to the fact that there was a famine in the country.

Under his totalitarian regime, the so-called secret police worked. She called on all citizens to spy on each other, and "undesirable" to "merge".

As a result of his policy, millions of people were sent to the Gulag and killed. More than 20 million were killed as a result of his tyrannical rule. According to various estimates, the figure reaches 60 million. Therefore, we can confidently assume that the Guinness Book of Records would have entered the name Stalin in the column "the most evil person in the world."

Executions, brutal murders, concentration camps and more than one million innocent victims are signs by which the most evil and merciless people of the past and present can be united.

6. Oliver Cromwell - English revolutionary who drowned Ireland in blood

Cromwell was an ardent Protestant, the leader of the round-headed Puritans. The catchphrase was the words of Cromwell, addressed to the soldiers during the crossing of the river: "Trust in God, but keep the gunpowder dry!". The pacification of Ireland by Cromwell cost her 5/6 of the population. Ireland never recovered from this blow. The consequence of this conquest (to oust Catholic power) was 200,000 civilian deaths from war-related famine and disease, and 50,000 Irish men and women became slaves.

Cromwell considered Catholics to be heretics. and declared a real crusade against the Irish. He died in 1658. He was so hated that in 1661, the body was removed from the grave, hung and quartered, which was the traditional punishment for treason in England.

The decade of the Cultural Revolution brought almost irreparable losses to the Chinese education system, many members of the intelligentsia were sent to camps.

Millions of people in China have lost the right to freedom of speech and cultural development. Tens of millions were deported from their homes. The death toll is estimated at around 500,000, but some sources claim that up to three million people were killed, with 36 million persecuted.

4. Pol Pot - the executioner of his people

Pol Pot - Cambodian politician, leader Khmer Rouge and Prime Minister of Cambodia. He was one of the leaders of the extreme left Khmer Rouge regime, which carried out the genocide of its people, exterminating several million people in 3.5 years. In their animal experiments, the Khmer Rouge have reached their logical end, not allowing conventional morality to dominate their views. To fight the bourgeoisie is to fight like that.

Immediately after the Khmer takeover of the city were declared hotbeds of debauchery and bourgeois values, and the entire urban population was deported to the jungle in labor camps. All dissenting or even incomprehensible people were shot or beaten with hoes (in order to save ammo). Throughout the country, all the intelligentsia were systematically destroyed: teachers, doctors, engineers. Killed just because a person wore glasses ....

According to independent research, from genocide in relation to their own people, from 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians died, which accounted for about a quarter of the country's population.

3. Heinrich Himmler - Reichsführer SS

2. Adolf Hitler - leader of the Third Reich

Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933, becoming "Fuhrer" in 1934, he lasted as leader of the German people for 11 years - until his suicide in 1945. By the end of World War II, Hitler's policy of military expansion and racial domination had brought death and destruction to tens of millions of people. On April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide when Soviet troops were seen very close to the office of the Third Reich. Together with him, Hitler took his beloved woman, Eva Braun, to the next world.

1. Joseph Stalin - mustachioed devil

From 1922 to 1953, until his death, Stalin was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. Under Stalin's leadership, Ukraine and other regions of the Soviet Union suffered from an artificially planned Holodomor. The famine was caused specifically to solve the political and administrative tasks of the Communist Party. In addition to the famine, Stalin ordered a purge of "enemies of the people". The number of deaths is estimated by modern historians in different ways - from 2.5 million to 10 million people.

Any nation is going through a time of active wars and expansions. But there are tribes in which militancy and cruelty are an integral part of their culture. These are ideal warriors without fear and morality.

Maori

The name of the New Zealand tribe "Maori" means "ordinary", although, in truth, there is nothing ordinary about them. Even Charles Darwin, who happened to meet them during his journey on the Beagle, noted their cruelty, especially towards the whites (English), with whom they happened to fight for territories during the Maori wars.

The Maori are considered the indigenous people of New Zealand. Their ancestors sailed to the island approximately 2000-700 years ago from East Polynesia. Before the arrival of the British in the middle of the 19th century, they had no serious enemies, they had fun mainly with civil strife.

During this time, their unique customs, characteristic of many Polynesian tribes, were formed. For example, they cut off the heads of captured enemies and ate their bodies - this is how, according to their beliefs, the strength of the enemy passed to them. Unlike their neighbors, the Australian Aborigines, the Maori fought in two world wars.

Moreover, during the Second World War, they themselves insisted on the formation of their own 28th battalion. By the way, it is known that during the First World War they drove the enemy away with their combat dance “haku”, during an offensive operation on the Gallipoli Peninsula. This ritual was accompanied by warlike cries and scary faces, which literally discouraged the enemies and gave the Maori an advantage.

Gurkha

Another warlike people who also fought on the side of the British are the Nepalese Gurkhas. Even during colonial policy, the British classified them as the "most militant" peoples they had to face.

According to them, the Gurkhas were distinguished by aggressiveness in battle, courage, self-sufficiency, physical strength and a lower pain threshold. England itself had to surrender to the onslaught of their warriors, armed with nothing but knives.

Not surprisingly, as early as 1815, a broad campaign was launched to recruit Gurkha volunteers into the British army. Skillful fighters quickly found the glory of the best soldiers in the world.

They managed to take part in the suppression of the Sikh uprising, the Afghan, First, Second World Wars, as well as in the Falklands conflict. Today, the Gurkhas are still the elite fighters of the British army. They are all recruited in the same place - in Nepal. I must say, the competition for the selection is crazy - according to the modernarmy portal, there are 28,000 candidates for 200 places.

The British themselves admit that the Gurkhas are better soldiers than themselves. Maybe because they are more motivated. Although the Nepalese themselves argue, the point here is not at all about money. They are proud of their martial art and are always happy to put it into practice. Even if someone gives them a friendly pat on the shoulder, in their tradition it is considered an insult.

Dayaks

When some small peoples actively integrate into modern world, others prefer to preserve traditions, even if they are far from the values ​​of humanism.

For example, a tribe of Dayaks from the island of Kalimantan, who have earned a terrible reputation as headhunters. What to do - you can become a man only by bringing the head of your enemy to the tribe. At least that was the case back in the 20th century. The Dayak people (in Malay - "pagan") is an ethnic group that unites the numerous peoples inhabiting the island of Kalimantan in Indonesia.

Among them: Ibans, Kayans, Modangs, Segai, Trings, Inihings, Longvais, Longhats, Otnadoms, Serai, Mardahiks, Ulu-Aiers. Some villages can only be reached today by boat.

The bloodthirsty rituals of the Dayaks and the hunting for human heads were officially stopped in the 19th century, when the local sultanate asked the Englishman Charles Brooke from the White Raja dynasty to somehow influence the people, who did not know any other way to become a man, except to cut off someone's head.

Having captured the most warlike leaders, he managed to set the Dayaks on a peaceful path with the “carrot and stick policy”. But people continued to disappear without a trace. The last bloody wave swept across the island in 1997-1999, when all the world agencies shouted about ritual cannibalism and the games of small Dayaks with human heads.

Kalmyks

Among the peoples of Russia, one of the most warlike are the Kalmyks, the descendants of the Western Mongols. Their self-name is translated as “breakaways”, which means Oirats who did not convert to Islam. Today, most of them live in the Republic of Kalmykia. Nomads are always more aggressive than farmers.

The ancestors of the Kalmyks, the Oirats, who lived in Dzungaria, were freedom-loving and warlike. Even Genghis Khan did not immediately manage to subdue them, for which he demanded the complete destruction of one of the tribes. Later, the Oirat warriors became part of the army of the great commander, and many of them intermarried with the Genghisides. Therefore, not without reason, some of the modern Kalmyks consider themselves descendants of Genghis Khan.

In the 17th century, the Oirats left Dzungaria, and, having made a huge transition, reached the Volga steppes. In 1641, Russia recognized the Kalmyk Khanate, and from now on, from the 17th century, the Kalmyks became permanent participants in the Russian army. It is said that the battle cry "hurrah" was once derived from the Kalmyk "uralan", which means "forward". They especially distinguished themselves in the Patriotic War of 1812. It was attended by 3 Kalmyk regiments, numbering more than three and a half thousand people. For the battle of Borodino alone, more than 260 Kalmyks were awarded the highest orders of Russia.

Kurds

Kurds, along with Arabs, Persians and Armenians, are one of the oldest peoples in the Middle East. They live in the ethno-geographic region of Kurdistan, which was divided among themselves by Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria after the First World War.

The language of the Kurds, according to scientists, belongs to the Iranian group. In religious terms, they do not have unity - among them there are Muslims, Jews and Christians. It is generally difficult for Kurds to agree with each other. E.V. Erikson, Doctor of Medical Sciences, noted in his work on ethnopsychology that the Kurds are a people merciless to the enemy and unreliable in friendship: “they respect only themselves and their elders. Their morality is generally very low, superstition is extremely great, and real religious feeling is extremely poorly developed. War is their direct innate need and absorbs all interests.

It is difficult to judge how applicable this thesis, written at the beginning of the 20th century, is today. But the fact that they never lived under their own centralized authority makes itself felt. According to Sandrine Alexi of the Kurdish University in Paris: “Every Kurd is a king on his mountain. Therefore, they quarrel with each other, conflicts arise often and easily.

But for all their uncompromising attitude towards each other, the Kurds dream of a centralized state. Today, the "Kurdish question" is one of the most acute in the Middle East. Numerous unrest in order to achieve autonomy and unite into one state have been going on since 1925. In 1992 to 1996, the Kurds waged a civil war in northern Iraq, and permanent uprisings still occur in Iran. In a word, the "question" hangs in the air. To date, the only state formation of Kurds with broad autonomy is Iraqi Kurdistan.

There are so many villains and just sadists in the world that it was decided to rank the people who caused the greatest harm to humanity. That's how this list came about.

Delphine LaLaurie's family belonged to a secular society and enjoyed great prestige in New Orleans. From early childhood, while still a little girl, Delphine got used to luxurious balls and receptions. No one could even suspect that a real monster could grow out of this cute child. Madame LaLaurie's house at 140 Royal Street was a real chamber of horror and pain. On April 10, 1834, a fire broke out in the mansion's kitchen, and firefighters found two slaves chained to the stove. Apparently, the slaves themselves set fire to the kitchen to attract attention. The firemen who freed the slaves followed them to the attic, where a real surprise awaited them. More than a dozen mutilated and maimed slaves were shackled to walls or floors. Some were subjected to horrific medical experiments. One man underwent sex reassignment surgery. Not far from him sat a woman in a cramped cage with mutilated limbs, resembling a crab. The body of a girl with amputated arms and legs was also found. The crazy mistress of the house tried to make a caterpillar out of her. Most of the victims were found dead, but some of them were alive and asked to be killed, thus freeing them from terrible agony. People were going to execute the villain, but Madame LaLaurie managed to escape to Europe. The further fate of the bloodthirsty sadist is unknown. According to unconfirmed sources, she died in France during a boar hunt.

In 1936, Ilse worked as a secretary and security guard in Sachsenhausen. In 1937, her husband, Karl Koch, received the post of commandant of Buchenwald, where the Nazi began to operate brutally. According to the prisoners, when she walked around the camp, she beat people she met with a whip and set a sheepdog on them. Ilsa was also accused of ordering the killing of prisoners with tattoos, in order to then make various original crafts from their skin: lampshades, gloves, book bindings. In 1941, for "special merit", Ilse Koch became a senior warden among women guards. On June 30, 1945, Koch was arrested by American troops and in 1947 sentenced to life imprisonment. However, a few years later, the American General Lucius Clay, the military commander of the American occupation zone in Germany, released her, considering the charges of issuing execution orders and making souvenirs from human skin insufficiently proven. This decision caused a protest from the public, so in 1951 Ilse Koch was arrested in West Germany. A German court again sentenced her to life imprisonment. On September 1, 1967, Koch committed suicide by hanging herself in a cell in the Bavarian Eibach prison.

The research was strictly classified and, according to official documents, the detachment studied methods of water disinfection. On February 9, 1939, in Tokyo, Ishii Shiro gave a lecture on bacteriological weapons in the large conference hall of the War Ministry. Vivisection was also performed in front of the audience. In 1942, tests of bacteriological weapons began, for which Chinese prisoners of war and civilians were used. In parallel, Detachment 731 carried out experiments on infecting people with the help of various microorganisms, provoking abortions, heart attacks, and frostbite. Prisoners had limbs amputated and sewn to other parts of the body. Humans have also been used as live targets to test new grenades and flamethrowers, to deliberately infect with diseases, and to test the effects of new vaccines and drugs. In order to study the means of effective cure for syphilis, men and women were deliberately infected with a venereal disease by forced rape by the sick. At the end of World War II, he was arrested by the Americans, but in 1946 he received immunity in exchange for data on biological weapons research based on human experiments. As a result, Ishii Shiro was never punished for war crimes. According to his daughter Harumi, Shiro died in Japan of throat cancer. According to other sources, he moved to Maryland, where he continued his research.

7. Ivan IV - he is the Terrible.
