For years, a Russian abused underage girls, a few years ago he murdered his father-in-law, now he is being celebrated as a war hero in Russia. The felon Nikita Semyanov is even allowed to perform in schools in his home city of Novosibirsk and conduct propaganda for Moscow's "special operation". His ex-wife has now made gruesome details from the life of the "war hero" public.

In order to have enough fighters for the invasion war, the Russian military also took serious criminals out of prison to serve in Ukraine in exchange for the prospect of a pardon. Semyanov accepted this offer - he had previously been sentenced to nine years in a penal colony for the murder of his father-in-law.

His ex-wife described details of the now celebrated soldier's criminal career on the Russian social platform vk.com. In 2021, he had strangled her father until he was unconscious. When the victim stopped moving, he put a plastic bag over his head and sealed it airtight with a wire around his neck. He then buried the body under the foundations of his house. 

In this post, the pardoned murderer smiles proudly into the camera:

After murder, Semyanov took part in search for 'missing person'
"While my father was considered missing, Nikita Semyanov lived quietly in the house in whose foundations my father was buried, even took part in his search and expressed his condolences to my family," explained ex-wife Polina Semyanova on the platform. A year later, he was sentenced for this. However, the Russian was apparently never prosecuted for his pedophile acts. The independent news platform "Sibir.Realii" has now reported the horrific details in detail.

Wife was raped in front of strangers
Semyanova was only ten years old when she met her future husband at her school - the man worked there. They had their first sexual intercourse when she was only 13 and Semyanova was 21. She moved in with him when she was 15 and gave birth to her first child when she was 17. "The whole time, he beat her regularly, humiliated and raped her in front of strangers, including minors," a friend of Semyanova described her ordeal.

Other victims spoke out
Another woman who was abused by the Russian confirmed the statements: she had been at a party at Semyanov's house as a 13-year-old. "First he offered us strong alcohol, then he undressed Polina in front of us and forced her to have sex with him." He then wanted to sleep with her and a friend of the same age. But she refused.

Another woman, who knows several victims, explained his modus operandi: "He seduced schoolgirls while giving them guitar lessons. At the school where Polina used to study." The school is just one of many where the felon is allowed to perform in front of children as a "hero of the special operation".
