Operating from Canada while directing criminal activity across India, Goldy Brar became one of the most wanted figures in Indian law enforcement through his alleged coordination of targeted killings — most notably the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

Her case is striking not only for the violence itself but for what it exposed about the legal vulnerability of serfs in mid-eighteenth-century Russia — people who had no recourse against an owner and no standing to bring a complaint. Saltykova killed dozens of those bound to her estate over roughly a decade before two serfs managed to reach Catherine the Great directly with a petition, bypassing the local authorities she had long suppressed. Her eventual conviction and imprisonment were unusual enough to be historically significant, representing one of the rare instances in imperial Russia where a noble was held criminally accountable for the deaths of serfs.
