Early Life
Vasiliy Kulik was born in Irkutsk Oblast, Soviet Union to an aristocratic family. His father was a doctor of Biological Sciences and writer, his mother a school-headmistress. A few years later, Kulik left home and began work as a medic in the Irkutsk Emergency Station. He married and had three sons.
After his arrest, the police interviewed the Kulik family. His mother told the police that her son had grown weak and had developed a limp. She said that her son had tortured animals as a child, and that he had assumed a dominant male persona in his manner of dress and in his interests. His sisters reported that he was selfish and cruel. Kulik grew up in an unstable environment and, when his father died, tried to commit suicide.
Kulik became sexually active at an early age and had many girlfriends. In school, he had been involved with a girl but became depressed after she moved to another city. At age 20, he started pursuing older, married women, but was frequently rejected.
In 1980, Kulik wrote a novel in which the main character forms a relationship with a nine-year-old girl with the sole purpose of having sex with her.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
