Vladimir Nikolayevich Guryanov (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Гурьянов; born March 27, 1964) is a Russian serial killer and rapist who, together with accomplice Elvira Leonidovna Egorycheva (Russian: Эльвирой Леонидовной Егорычевой; born May 5, 1962), committed at least 13 murders in Nizhny Novgorod between 2007 and 2008. The pair were both convicted of the crimes, with Guryanov receiving a life sentence while Egorycheva received a 19.5-year term.
As the motive behind the attacks was religious in nature, Guryanov and Egorycheva were nicknamed The Bloody Sectarians (Russian: Кровавые сектанты), as well as The Russian Bonnie and Clyde (Russian: Российские Бонни и Клайд).
